Markus Hentschel

I have taught at Heidelberg's university for over a decade, so leading a session through the oldest university quarter still functioning in Germany feels like showing people my own workplace. On camera I favour the courtyard of the old university building, where the stone has barely changed since students first crossed it centuries ago. In the Student Prison I read out a line or two of the carved graffiti myself, since the handwriting says more than any translation could. I run a structured, unhurried session and welcome detailed questions about what sits just below the surface here.
