Text in Danish. Per Øhrgaard's ability to look attentively upon the borders of the domestic area -- the borders of our own language, our own culture, our profession and institution, all in all, our own world -- has in the course of the years been a source of inspiration to many people. In this festschrift, German and Danish humanists turn their attention to some of these borders to celebrate Per Øhrgaard on the occasion of his 60th birthday the 6th February 2004. The articles cover a wide field: from translation to music, from Goethe to Grass, from Danish fiction to German history and from language to education. The festschrift thus reflects the comprehensiveness and the many facets in Per Øhrgaard's own work.
