Harvard Zitierweise is the German variant of Harvard referencing, adapted for German-language academic writing and institutions.
German Harvard uses 'und' instead of 'and', colons instead of commas for page numbers, and German formatting conventions.
Use (Author Year: page) format, e.g., (Schmidt 2024: 45). Use 'vgl.' for indirect citations.
Common abbreviations include 'S.' for pages, 'Aufl.' for edition, 'Hrsg.' for editor, and 'ebd.' for ibid.
