The literary scholar and translator Wolfgang Kasack was one of the world's best-known German Slavicists. After Kasack's death in 2003, his widow handed over the administration of her husband's scientific, editorial and translated works to Professor Frank Göbler, a former student and long-time colleague of Kasack at the University of Cologne, now himself holding a professorship for Slavic studies at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz.
