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·荣格去世后，留下了一个丰富的、系统地收集的信件档案，其中包含13万份文件。大约有90，000封来自大约5，000名作家的信件，以及大约40，000封由作者撰写的信件，这些信件仍然存在于抄本或副本中。这封信是容格斯文学遗产的一部分，收藏在马尔巴赫的德国文学档案馆（DLA）。在这里，信件根据发件人、收件人、日期和主题记录在数据库中。这些信件可以在网上搜索，也可以在网站上使用。由于荣格的信件数量庞大，并且在他的日记和自传中被收录、提及或引用，信件档案已经成为作者作品的一个组成部分，也是一种文献结构。在20世纪世纪，恩斯特·荣格作为一个政治活动家、一个文学见证人和一个人们可以求助的人发挥了重要作用。因此，他的书信档案对文学史和当代史都是极有价值的资料。作为我的工作的延续，近年来，我想解释的书信活动的荣格，使用信件在他的工作和概念，他的信件档案的专着。一个版本的选定的通信将伴随着专著，以阐明来源价值的信件档案。迄今为止，被编辑并在研究文献中广泛引用的信件仅占投资组合的5%。进一步的出版和建立一个通信目录（大概需要几十年才能完成）将不足以解释荣格书信通信和他的信件档案的概念。显然需要进一步和更广泛的与作品和档案有关的研究，以补充现有的研究，这些研究几乎没有触及表面。其目的是展示荣格的邮政活动是如何建立网络和分发他的著作，而信件档案是为了成为他在后代中存在的基础。 荣格因此成为一种新的作者形式的代表，这种形式可能是对现代主义文学档案馆建立的反应（继18和19世纪的前身之后）：作者作为档案管理员。其目的是使用荣格信件档案作为一个例子，有意识地书面收集文本的死后接收，从而说明了典范的现代文学现象。这本专著着重于从《钢铁风暴》到《Siebzig verweht》的荣格主要作品的书信和文献性质，邮政活动的通信目的，以及对选定信件的解释，以证明荣格信件档案的重要性及其来源价值。
