Abstract :Other Travels in Contemporary German Literature Travels and travelogues, pivotal topic of intercultural literary studies, are once again en vogue in German contemporary literature. Only this time, it's not about discovering strange new worlds. Ever since the beginning of decolonization, the travelers' European perspective has increasingly been replaced by a new view from the margins, by a more open topography of the world. This has profoundly changed literary tradition. Alongside new postcolonial perspectives of a different world, the theme of traveling in the newer novels by Ch. Ransmayr, D. Kühn, U. Widmer, M. Roes, G. Stadler, R. Schrott et al. opens up a range of possibilities and projections, a place of (extreme) self-awareness. Alternatively, the motif changes into a complex pattern of cultural displacement, strangeness and placelessness, respectively a nomadic new way of life, characterized by migration and interculturality
