Summary/Abstract: The article attempts to isolate several trends in the development of nationalistic attitudes in East Prussian German literature on selected examples. It analyses such works as: "The Artus Court" (Dwór Artusa) by E.T.A. Hoffmann, "Die Wiederherstellung des Schlosses der deutschen Ordensritter zu Marienburg" by Joseph Eichendorff, as well as the historizing works of Ernst Wicher ("Heinrich von Plauen") and Felix Dahn ("Kampf um Rom"), which glorified German past in the name of the idea of the nation.
