The German Congress for Geography 2019 in Kiel was again an occasion to discuss developments and the state of geography as an interdisciplinary science. We contribute to these discussions by reflecting on a transdisciplinary research project with the participation of researchers from both physical and human geography. We analyze personal interview data and research documents retrospectively. Scientific differentiations have progressed so far that it is no longer possible to speak of geography as a discipline unifying natural and social sciences. The practical challenges lie in the establishment of context-related interdisciplinary translations and in questions of organization and knowledge creation beyond academia. A unified idea of geography might still make sense when ethical and political positions as an environmental-social discipline are pursued together and publicly communicated.
