Writers, visual artists and composers as well as scholars with a research project on Romanticism or on questions relating to the previously divided Germany can apply for a three-months residency at Schloss Wiepersdorf in 2023.

Artists and writers from Germany and abroad working in the following areas are eligible to apply:
• Literature (incl. poetry, prose, dramatic arts, essay, screenplay, criticism, translation)
• Science/Romanticism (Academic writing and research/Humanities and social sciences with themes on the epoch and sentiments of Romanticism)
• Science/Topics focusing on the previously divided Germany (Academic writing and re-search/Questions relating to the history of East and West Germany during the period of
division)
• Fine arts (incl. painting, graphic arts, sculpture, media arts, and photography)
• Composition (incl. sound design, sound installation, sound performance, conducting)

Applicants must have completed an artistic or academic course of study, be working on a doctor-ate, or have distinguished themselves through publications or long-standing professional artistic or academic work, and can provide samples of their work to substantiate this.

German or English proficiency is required of all applicants. Basic German language skills would be helpful for a successful residence.

Decisive for the awarding of a fellowship are the quality of the applicant’s previous artistic or aca-demic work and the proposed project.

Not eligible for a fellowship are:
• students—with the exception of doctoral, post-doctoral, and master-class (Meister-schülerInnen) students
• people who have already received a Schloss Wiepersdorf fellowship in the last two years prior to the application year
• members of the jury

The number of fellowships awarded is dependent on the funds available in the budget of the feder-al state of Brandenburg.
The residency fellowship lasts for three months and is granted for the periods March to May, June to August, and September to November.
In addition to room and board at Schloss Wiepersdorf, all fellows also receive a monthly cash sti-pend of €1200 and a one-time grant of €480 to cover material expenses. (If the stay is shortened, the material cost grant is reduced by €160 per month.)
Visa costs will be covered for fellows from countries requiring a visa for Germany.

Fellowships will be awarded in consultation with an independent jury of experts.
Artists and writers can apply for either an individual fellowship or a collaborative fellowship.
