Summary/Abstract: This essay aims to lay the groundwork for a subsequent spiritual-historical and philological analysis of Jena Romanticism as one of the central phenomena in the history of European culture. It primarily focuses on the collaboration between Schleiermacher, Novalis, and Friedrich Schlegel during the late 18th century. The nucleus around which the Romantics and idealists gather is the journal Athenaeum (1798–1800), published in Berlin, but whose contributors mostly (with Schleiermacher being an exception) operated from Jena. Within the literary culture of Goethe's era, this period stands out due to its pursuit of religious fulfillment in humanity. Conceptually, this pursuit is articulated through Schleiermacher's Speeches on Religion, finds poetic consolidation in Schlegel's contemplation of ideal romantic literature grounded in a new mythology, and poetically manifests itself through the erotic-religious synthesis of total humanity in Novalis's work.
