The registry is open for the eighth Thomas Mann Lecture: Join us in celebrating the 100th anniversary of Thomas Mann’s ‘Der Zauberberg’ with a keynote speech by Professor Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht.  

Shortly after its publication, Thomas Mann’s “The Magic Mountain” was translated into several languages. How does a translator approach the novel 100 years later? A short video provides answers.  

In 2023, the Thomas Mann Archive opened its new permanent exhibition in the ETH main building. Find out more in the new annual report.

“Blätter der Thomas Mann Gesellschaft Zürich” has been published since 1958 and is the oldest journal dedicated to Thomas Mann in the German-speaking world. The ETH Library now provides digital access on E-Periodica.

From a musicology and media studies perspective, “The Magic Mountain” shows the line of development from early gramophones to today’s headphones.

Thomas Mann’s novel “The Magic Mountain” turns one hundred. To mark the anniversary, the Thomas Mann Archive is producing a video series that places “The Magic Mountain” in the technological-historical context of ETH Zurich and points to its contemporary relevance.

Save the date: The next Thomas Mann Lecture is going to explore Thomas Mann's work from a perspective that has so far received little attention: his mother's Brazilian origins and her connection to slavery and colonialism.

The fifth Thomas Mann Lecture was broadcast live from Zurich and Harvard and, for the first time, made available for listeners in German and English.

Die Öffentliche Führung, die das Thomas-Mann-Archiv (TMA) am 02.03.2021 als Zoom-Webinar anbot, stiess auf breites internationales Interesse.
