[en] Spot German is an interactive and creative way to get to know the German language and discover
a linguistic and literary landscape. This article explains how this works and where the idea comes
from. It summarises the history of Spot German, its interdisciplinary context bridging linguistics
(especially linguistic landscape research), area studies, German as a foreign language and literary
studies, and the place of Spot German projects in the teaching of German as a foreign language.
Designed as a hands-on report, the article seeks to encourage the development of Spot German
projects in class and to provide helpful suggestions and instructions for course design.
