Upon his death, Ernst Jünger left a copious, systematically assembled letter archive containing 130,000 documents. There are approximately 90,000 letters to the author, coming from about 5,000 writers and approximately 40,000 letters that were written by the author and which still exist in transcripts or copies. The letter archive is part of Jüngers literary legacy contained in the German Literature Archive in Marbach (DLA). Here the correspondence is recorded in a database according to sender, addressee, date, and subject matter. The letters are searchable online and available for use on-site. Due to the sheer volume of Jüngers correspondence and their inclusion, mention or quotation in his diaries and autobiographical writings, the letter archive has become a component and kind of documentary substructure of the author's opus. In the 20th century Ernst Jünger played a significant role as a political activist, as a literary witness, and as a person to turn to for various people. For this reason, his letter archive is an extremely valuable source for both literary and contemporary history. As a continuation of my work in recent years I would like to explain the epistolary activities of Jünger, the use of letters in his work and the conception of his letter archive in a monograph. An edition of selected correspondence will accompany the monograph to elucidate the source value of the letter archive. The correspondence that has hitherto been edited and widely cited in research literature makes up just 5% of the portfolio. Further publication and the creation of a catalogue of correspondence (which will presumably take decades to complete) would not be sufficient to explain Jüngers epistolary communication and the conception of his letter archive. There is a clear need for further and more extensive opus- and archive-related studies to supplement the existing research which barely scratches the surface. The aim is to show the way Jüngers postal activities were supposed to build networks and to distribute his writings while the letter archive was intended to be a basis for his presence in posterity. Jünger thus becomes the representative of a new form of authorship which probably resulted from a reaction to the establishment of literary archives in Modernism (following precursors in the 18th and 19th century): the author as archivist. The intention is to use Jüngers letter archive as an example of a consciously written collection of texts for posthumous reception, thus illustrating paradigmatically a phenomenon of modern literature. The monography focuses on the epistolary and documentary character of Jüngers key works from Storm of Steel to Siebzig verweht, on the communicative purposes of postal activities and on the explanation of selected correspondence to demonstrate the significance of Jüngers letter archive and of its source value.

恩斯特·荣格 (Ernst Jünger) 去世后留下了一份丰富、系统整理的信件档案，其中包含 130,000 份文件。大约有 5,000 位作家写给作者的大约 90,000 封信，还有大约 40,000 封由作者写的信，这些信仍然存在于抄本或副本中。该信件档案是马尔巴赫德国文学档案馆 (DLA) 中容格斯文学遗产的一部分。这里，信件根据发件人、收件人、日期和主题记录在数据库中。这些信件可在线搜索并可在现场使用。 由于容格斯的信件数量庞大，并且在他的日记和自传作品中包含、提及或引用这些信件，信件档案已成为作者作品的一个组成部分和一种文献基础结构。在 20 世纪，恩斯特·荣格（Ernst Jünger）作为政治活动家、文学见证人和各种人的求助者发挥了重要作用。因此，他的信件档案对于文学和当代史来说都是极其有价值的资料。作为我近年来工作的延续，我想解释容格的书信活动、他的作品中信件的使用以及他在专着中信件档案的构想。该专着将附有精选信件的一个版本，以阐明信件档案的来源价值。 迄今已编辑并在研究文献中广泛引用的信件仅占作品集的 5%。进一步出版和创建通信目录（大概需要几十年才能完成）不足以解释容格斯的书信通讯和他的信件档案的概念。显然需要进一步、更广泛的作品和档案相关研究，以补充现有的仅仅触及表面的研究。其目的是展示容格尔的邮政活动应该如何建立网络并分发他的著作，而信件档案则旨在成为他在后代中存在的基础。 因此，荣格成为一种新的作者身份形式的代表，这种形式可能是对现代主义文学档案馆（继18世纪和19世纪的先驱）建立的反应的结果：作者作为档案保管员。其目的是利用容格斯信件档案作为有意识地为死后接受而撰写的文本集的一个例子，从而范式地说明现代文学的一种现象。该专着侧重于荣格从《钢铁风暴》到《西布齐格·韦尔韦特》的主要著作的书信体和文献特征、邮政活动的交流目的以及对选定信件的解释，以展示荣格信件档案的重要性及其来源价值。
