Welcome back, Professor Notker Baumann!

The University of Erfurt welcomes Notker Baumann back to campus. He has taken up the professorship of Ancient Church History, Patrology and Eastern Church Studies at the Faculty of Catholic Theology on April 1, 2023. However, Notker Baumann is no stranger here - he was already at the university from 2016 to 2018 to fill the professorship of Ancient Church History, Patrology and Eastern Church Studies held by Professor René Roux.
