Lützeler to receive German Cross of Merit
By Neil Schoenherr Paul Michael Lützeler, Ph.D., the Rosa May Distinguished University Professor in the Humanities in Arts & Sciences, will receive the German Cross of Merit, First Class, at the University May 10.
This is one of the most prestigious awards Germany bestows on people with merits in the fields of German culture, economics or politics.
An American citizen, Lützeler will receive the medal for his pedagogical and scholarly work on German literature and culture; for his merits in connection with improving academic relations between Germany and the United States; for his work in the area of European Studies in Arts & Sciences; and for establishing the Max Kade Center for Contemporary German Literature in Arts & Sciences at the University. "I'm delighted to know that Professor Lützeler will receive this splendid honor from the German government," said Edward S. Macias, Ph.D., executive vice chancellor and dean of Arts & Sciences. "An outstanding scholar, he has also helped to strengthen our Arts & Sciences offerings in German literature and culture -- for both undergraduate and graduate students -- and through his efforts a number of important visitors have come to our campus. He is richly deserving of this award, and I'm very pleased that his contributions are receiving such wide recognition." Lützeler joined the faculty of Arts & Sciences in 1973 and was named to the May distinguished professorship in 1993. Since joining the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures in Arts & Sciences, 33 students have written their doctoral dissertations with him. He chaired the department from 1983-88. Early on he revived and established exchange programs on the undergraduate, graduate and faculty levels with the University of Tübingen in Germany, and he established a number of endowed fellowships for doctoral students in German. He has served on many committees at the University. He twice was elected chair of the Faculty Senate Council, and he twice served on the Personnel Advisory Committee in Arts & Sciences. In addition, he recently received a Distinguished Faculty Mentor Award. Lützeler has written nine books and edited numerous volumes on 19th- and 20th-century German and European literature.
He has received many other awards, prizes and fellowships; among them are Guggenheim, Humboldt and Fulbright grants.
