As a Prussian scholar in Halle, Wroclaw and Berlin the natural philosopher Henrik Steffens, who was born in Norway, educated in Denmark – and today nearly forgotten – is one of the central figures of the German and Danish Romanticism and the German Idealism. Steffens coined the speculative direction of natural philosophy and, in harmony with Schelling, was the significantly representative of the theory of the unity of nature and spirit. His extensive scientific work is important beyond philosophy for history, theology and literature; for example, Steffens’ essay “Über die Idee der Universitäten” (1809) is, along with the writings of Fichte, Schleiermacher and Wilhelm von Humboldt, one of the most important treatises on a modern research university. In the epoch of the early Prussian nation-building, Steffens was a staunch cosmopolitan and member of a European intellectual community. His correspondence not only reflects this Europeanization - his network included professors and generals, singers and actors, nobles and clergy in several European countries - but also represents an important source for the history of science, as it provides information on knowledge networking in the early 18th century. The reason for the very few studies on Steffens and his Romantic circles in Halle and Jena to date is that the correspondence has neither been catalogued – it is distributed among 43 archives in seven European countries – nor published in its entirety. At the same time, it is a central source corpus for the history of natural philosophy and documents the socio-political discourses of his time.The aim of the project is therefore to systematically record and index all of Steffens´ approximately 600 discoverable letters and other ego-documents for the first time and, in cooperation with the Trier Center for Digital Humanities, to publish them on a digital portal using the FuD research network and database system. There, the correspondence of Henrik Steffens, recorded and evaluated according to specific metadata, as well as the owning institution of the individual autograph are made available for further scientific international research and Steffens` network is visualized. This not only resolves a research desideratum; the scholarly indexing of Henrik Steffens` correspondence provides a new source base for further philosophical, socio-historical and literary research that does not yet exist for his estate.

作为哈勒、弗罗茨瓦夫和柏林的普鲁士学者，出生于挪威、在丹麦接受教育的自然哲学家亨里克·斯特芬斯是德国和丹麦浪漫主义以及德国理想主义的核心人物之一。斯特芬斯创造了自然哲学的思辨方向，并与谢林和谐一致地成为自然与精神统一理论的重要代表。他广泛的科学工作是重要的超越哲学的历史，神学和文学；例如，斯特芬斯的论文“于伯迪理想大学”(1809年)，连同费希特，施莱尔马赫和威廉冯洪堡的著作，是关于现代研究型大学最重要的论文之一。在早期普鲁士建国时期，斯特芬斯是一个坚定的世界主义者，是欧洲知识界的一员。他的书信不仅反映了这种欧洲化--他的关系网包括几个欧洲国家的教授和将军、歌手和演员、贵族和神职人员--而且是科学史的重要来源，因为它提供了关于18世纪初知识网络的信息。到目前为止，关于斯特芬和他在哈勒和耶拿的浪漫主义圈子的研究很少，原因是这些信件既没有编目--它分布在七个欧洲国家的43个档案馆--也没有全文出版。同时，它也是自然哲学史的中心来源语料库，并记录了他那个时代的社会政治话语。因此，该项目的目标是首次系统地记录和索引斯特芬斯大约600封可发现的信件和其他自我文件，并与特里尔数字人文中心合作，使用FUD研究网络和数据库系统将它们发布在数字门户上。在那里，亨里克·斯蒂芬斯的通信，根据特定的元数据记录和评估，以及个人签名的拥有机构，可用于进一步的科学国际研究，并使斯蒂芬斯的网络可视化。这不仅解决了一个研究的愿望；亨里克·斯蒂芬斯书信的学术索引为进一步的哲学、社会历史和文学研究提供了一个新的来源基础，这对于他的遗产来说还不存在。
