Welcome, Dr. Ulrich von Bulow!

The Hannah Arendt Center is pleased to welcome Dr. Ulrich von Bülow to Bard College!

Dr. von Bülow is head of the archival section in the German Literary Archive in Marbach/Germany, one of the most significant literary archives in Europe. Important papers of Hannah Arendt’s estate are located in the Marbach archive. Among them are, “Thinking Notebooks,” which Dr. Bülow will be editing for an upcoming Critical Edition of Hannah Arendt Complete Works.

During his stay at Bard College, which will last until October 1st, he’ll be conducting research in the special collection of Hannah Arendt’s personal library, located in Stevenson Library. For a look at some of the works housed in this collection, many of which include marginalia made by Arendt herself, please click here.
