Classical Philology in Dresden

The Institute of Classical Philology was established at TU Dresden in 1992 and until 2020 comprised two professorships with research emphasis on the literature of classical antiquity (Latin Studies: Prof. Dr. Fritz-Heiner Mutschler; Greek Studies: Prof. Dr. Christian Mueller-Goldingen).

Since the summer semester of 2021, Assistant Professor Dr. Mario Baumann has been working in the field of Classics (Junior Professorship for Ancient Cultures/Greek Literature). There has recently been a new appointment in the Department of Latin Studies: After Prof. Dr. Dennis Pausch served here for a decade (2014–2023), Prof. Dr. Stefan Feddern has held this position (Classical Philology/Latin) since the winter semester of 2025/2026.

The Institute of Classical Philology together with the Professorship in Ancient History and the Professorships in Catholic and Protestant Biblical Theology form the Dresden Classical Studies. These institutional partners jointly organise the Dresden Classical Studies Presentations, which are held each semester.
