Finalization of the project (in cooperation with the SNF): "Goethe's 'Farbenlehre'. The history of its reception in Berlin 1810-1832"

本课题主要是分析歌德·S 1810年的作品《祖尔·法本勒》在19世纪头几十年在柏林受到的欢迎。该项目由DFG和SNF共同出资，已于2018年开工，目前已取得圆满成功。然而，很明显，相关来源的数量远远高于最初的估计。因此，我们申请再延长14个月，以实现该项目的目标，并展示其丰富和重要的成果。该项目的主要目标是分析歌德1810年的作品《祖尔·法本勒》在19世纪头几十年在柏林受到的欢迎。歌德本人曾表示，他的作品大多引起了敌意的反应，基本上在出版后不久就消失了，这一观点已经被接受，并在学术文献中得到了部分支持。然而，相比之下，有迹象表明，歌德在柏林20多年来的工作产生了强烈而积极的共鸣，这主要是由普鲁士部长阿尔滕斯坦及其幕僚推动的。他支持从事色彩研究的学者和科学家，其中一些人公开支持歌德的方法。在柏林大学，一系列关于歌德理论的讲座由L.冯？亨宁主持。此外，阿尔滕斯坦和其他人安排了画家拉贝的意大利之旅，调查歌德提到的艺术作品，并普及歌德的《法本莱尔》。歌德称赞并支持冯·亨宁的系列演讲，并积极参与规划和评估拉贝的旅行--因此，我们看到了歌德理论的一个成功故事。该项目将首次全面分析这一重要的接待事件，并将其置于19世纪初的政治、文化和经济背景下。普鲁士。它将对大量相关史料进行发掘、呈现和评论，并对其进行系统评价，以全面重建这一历史过程。结果将以印刷品和电子形式作为专著出版，并附有资料来源和背景资料。所有历史材料(文件、文字记录、评论)都将开放获取，以供进一步研究。该项目将为歌德研究、科学史和19世纪上半叶普鲁士文化政治和社会史做出重大贡献。到目前为止，该项目的工作非常成功，显然需要包括的原始材料比最初估计的要多得多。为了达到项目的目标，即重建和呈现歌德作品在柏林受到的特殊欢迎的全面图景，有必要将这些材料包括在内。因此，我们申请将项目再延长14个月。

It is main of the project is to analyse the reception of Goethe s 1810th work Zur Farbenlehre in Berlin in the first decades of the 19th century. The project, jointly funded by DFG and SNF, has started in 2018 and has been full success so far. It has become clear, however, that the amount of relevant sources is far higher than originally estimated. Hence we apply for an extension of another 14 months that will enable to reach the goals of the project and present its rich and significant results.The main goal of the project is to analyse the reception of Goethe’s 1810 work „Zur Farbenlehre“ in Berlin in the first decades of the 19th century. Goethe himself had suggested that his work had evoked mostly hostile reactions and essentially vanished soon after its publication, and this view has been taken over and partly supported in the scholarly literature. By contrast, however, there are indications of a strong and positive resonance of Goethe’s work in Berlin over more than two decades, driven mainly by the Prussian minister Altenstein and his staff. He supported scholars and scientists working on colour research, and some of them publicly supported Goethe’s approach. At Berlin university, a series of lectures on Goethe’s theory was installed and conducted by L. von Henning. Moreover, Altenstein and others arranged an extended journey of the painter Raabe to Italy, to investigate works of art mentioned by Goethe and to popularise Goethe’s „Farbenlehre“. Goethe applauded and supported von Henning’s lecture series and was actively involved in planning and evaluating Raabe’s travel - hence we see a ‚success story‘ (Müller-Tamm) of Goethe’s theory. The project will for the first time analyse this significant episode of reception in full, and place it within its political, cultural and economic context of early 19th ct. Prussia. It will explore, present and comment the bulk of relevant historical sources, and evaluate them systematically to reconstruct this historical process comprehensively. The results will be published as a monograph in print and electronic form, along with the sources and background information. All the historical material (documents, transcriptions, comments) will be made available open-access for further research. The project will provide a significant contribution to Goethe research, to the history of science, and to the history of Prussian cultural politics and society in the first half of 19th century. In its working so far, the project has been extremely successful, and it has become clear that there is significantly more source material to be included than estimated originally. In order to reach the goals of the project, i.e. to reconstruct and present a comprehensive picture of the peculiar reception of Goethe’s work in Berlin, this material has necessarily to be included. Hence we apply for an extension of the project for another 14 months.
