AbstractThe following article examines the position of medieval Latin literature within German school curricula and school books. It stresses the importance of reading and studying medieval Latin texts as a way to a more complete as well as interdisciplinary school and university education. In this respect, two possible topics for school lessons are discussed: first, medieval Latin letters as an example of continuity and reception of a literary genre; second, the comparative analysis of medieval European cartography and corresponding texts as an interdisciplinary approach to the study of medieval worldviews.
