Historical Note
The Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures was established Ohio State University in 1873. Prior to this, Ohio State University had offered courses in German in the Department of English and Modern and Ancient Languages. In 1881, a department for foreign languages was created and named the Department of French and German. In 1882, the Board of Trustees adopted a motion which required all students enrolled in Science to also take a German course. During World War II, the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures had a dramatic increase in enrollment of German language courses, which called for more hired staff. In 1969, a movement was made to establish a hall dedicated to then-chairman of the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures, Dieter Cunz. This movement established Cunz Hall on Ohio State’s main campus. As of 2017, the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures is located in Hagerty Hall.
