Interview
It was straight to the point. The questions were pretty much what you can find online. You have to prepare for adequately for them. There were two interviewers who asked me questions simultaneously.

Interview
The role of a DAAD lecturer is to represent German higher education in a teaching role at a foreign university. DAAD Lecturers are interviewed by a committee of three. The duration is about 20 minutes. There is usually not too much guidance from the DAAD as to the interview, however, they were happy about a short ppt presentation. The interview is focussing on both, academic experience and international exposure. The committee is not necessarily a specialised expert panel experienced in the field of the applicant. Thus, the applicant should expect relatively general questions. The meeting can be attended by a member of the host institution abroad who has no voting right but may ask questions.
