The following text was translated by deepl based on the German text written by Eckhard Hoffmann. Up to now most of the listed events and exhibitions are not translated.
The following lectures, some of which were combined with small exhibitions, were mainly the result of "word of mouth" or publications on the Internet. Some of the media that reported on these events are quoted and provided with a corresponding link. They can therefore be accessed separately via the Internet if required or interested. If images were published via these media, it is possible to link to them directly. The presentations were generally well to very well attended. In general, there was a great deal of interest. "Why was this exceptional man forgotten?" This question was asked again and again. It could only be answered to a limited extent by the audience. However, the name Emil Krebs, his life and work, his extraordinary polyglot abilities and his personal attitude at the time, which was reserved from public life, found multipliers through the lectures, who can now pass on their existing knowledge. This also applies to information at Emil Krebs' grave during regular guided tours of the Südwestkirchhof Stahnsdorf. The Internet has also already achieved a great deal in this context. Information about E. Krebs is already available in 20 languages via this medium.
Finally, a positive activity that surprised the author: a Chinese student from the Beijing Foreign Languages University completed a master's thesis on Emil Krebs in June 2016. She spent several months in Düsseldorf (Heinrich-Heine-University). We will report on this elsewhere.
