Slawistik in Deutschland [Slavic Studies in Germany] : von den Anfängen bis 1945; ein biographisches Lexikon / ed. by Ernst Eichler, et al. - 1st ed. - Bautzen : Domowina-Verlag, 1993. - 520 p. ; 20 cm. - ISBN 3-7420-1538-9 : DM 49.00

This bio-bibliographic reference work, a companion to Wilhelm Zeil's Slawistik in Deutschland (Köln: Böhlau, 1994), includes philologists, historians, philosophers, translators, journalists, and authors from the sixteenth century to 1945. Although indispensable for libraries, archives and institutes in various disciplines, the selection of subjects has some inconsistencies and betrays a one-sided, Russo-centric concept of Slavic studies.
