However, I did have the opportunity to enjoy the long-standing friendship of a good successor and student of Jakob Grimm, the Austrian dialect, legend and myth researcher, and later also Goethe researcher, Karl Julius Schröer. I have already spoken about this in these lectures, except about what he, I would like to say, tried to research so truly in the spirit of Jacob Grimm, namely about the intimate life relationships of the German folk soul to the various folk souls that prevail in Austria. For many years I was privileged to participate in his attempts to fathom the essence and significance of the German dialects prevailing in Austria – and there are many prevailing there – and I can say that I participated with heartfelt interest. I was also able to see how the soul of a people, especially the German soul, comes to life where it has to blend with Slavic and Magyar folk traditions. In those years, when I was young, one could already study the mutual relationships between the souls of nations. If one considered what happened in Austria in the 1870s and 1880s, one could apply in a vivid way what a researcher, a student of Jacob Grimm, could bring to bear from his science about the nature of the soul of a nation. And then I was able to deepen what had been offered to me in this way, again through an intimate friendship with the now long since deceased scholar of legends and myths, Ludwig Laistner, a friend of Paul Heyse. And so I was at least offered the opportunity to get to know the way in which one can immerse oneself in that external science that summarizes everything that is lawful in the nature of the folk soul and its development.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"14.

Allein, es war mir doch Gelegenheit geboten, die langjährige Freundschaft eines guten Nachfolgers und Schülers Jakob Grimms zu genießen, des österreichischen Dialekt-, Sagen- und Mythenforschers, später auch Goethe-Forschers Karl Julius Schröer. Ich habe darüber ja schon in diesen Vorträgen gesprochen, außer über das, was er, ich möchte sagen, so recht aus dem Geiste Jakob Grimms heraus zu erforschen versuchte, namentlich über die intimen Lebensbeziehungen der deutschen Volksseele zu den verschiedenen Volksseelen, die in Österreich walten. Was er über das Wesen und die Bedeutung der deutschen, in Österreich herrschenden Dialekte zu ergründen versuchte — und es sind da viele herrschend -, daran durfte ich durch viele Jahre — und ich darf sagen, mit innigem Anteil - teilnehmen, durfte dann auch sehen, wie Volkswesenheit, namentlich also deutsche Volkswesenheit sich da auslebt, wo sie sich hineinschieben muß in slawisches, in magyarisches Volkstum. Man konnte schon gerade in denjenigen Jahren, in denen ich jung war, Studien machen über die gegenseitigen Beziehungen von Volksseelen. Wenn man ins Auge faßte, was sich in den siebziger, in den achtziger Jahren des verflossenen Jahrhunderts in Österreich abspielte, da konnte man lebendig anwenden, was solch ein Forscher, der Schüler Jakob Grimms ist, aus seiner Wissenschaft heraus über das Volksseelenwesen zur Geltung bringen kann. Und dann durfte ich das vertiefen, was sich mir auf diese Weise geboten hatte, wiederum durch eine intime Freundschaft mit dem nun gleich Schröer längst schon verstorbenen Sagen- und Mythenforscher Ludwig Laistner, dem Freunde Paul Heyses. Und so war mir wenigstens Gelegenheit geboten, die Art und Weise kennenzulernen, wie man sich hineinleben kann in jene äußere Wissenschaft, die alles das zusammenfaßt, was gesetzmäßig im Volksseelenwesen und seiner Entwickelung waltet.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":283,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/65/1916-04-13/p004"}],"english":["GA 65/1916-04-13/p004"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":283,"en_words":308,"ratio":1.09,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.06,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":12620,"original_word_count":11914,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"From Central European Intellectual Life","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA065/English/SOL2024/19160413p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
