Fondation de l'Allemagne — Maison Heinrich Heine is a cultural center and student hostel building located in the Cité Universitaire complex in Paris, France. It was designed by Johannes Krahn and opened in 1956.[1]

Function

[edit]

The Maison Heinrich Heine has an event hall, a library and more than 100 dormitory places intended for German students and doctoral candidates. Through the principle of brassage (en: Shared Values), the Maison Heinrich Heine is inhabited by around half German and non-German students, which is intended to promote exchange between different nationalities.[2]

Cultural program

[edit]

The Maison Heinrich Heine has set itself the goal of promoting German-French cooperation in science, politics, art and culture and deepening dialogue in a European and international context.[3][4]

The event program includes poetry readings, exhibitions, concerts, lectures, panel discussions and discussion events with mostly well-known participants on historical, political and literary topics. Scientific seminars and conferences are also organized.
