Do we not see this striving - to know what the German can know, how to make it accessible to the divine-spiritual, to develop a devout mood in science as well? How beautiful and wonderful it is, for example, when a German — and that is precisely why he may perhaps be mentioned today — who appears in Austria as one of the greatest German-Austrians, delves into the German essence, even if he has not perhaps arrived at the concepts that have been developed today and presented to us, so as to feel the full expression of what has been developed in ideas today here: I am referring to Robert Hamerling, Austria's greatest German poet of modern times, who spoke the beautiful words, feeling like a German in Austria, spoke the beautiful words: Austria is my fatherland; but I feel it: Germany is my motherland - thus expressing the unity that has been so firmly forged today through Germany and Austria, through Central Europe. All these peculiarities of the German national soul, which I have been trying to develop today from the idealistic world view of the Germans - at the time when they believed they could turn back the tide, when the Germans came over from Asia, bringing with them the urge to grasp the Allgeist, which they would later express in their art, in their education, in their philosophy, in all their being and working in the world, by elevating the ego, not by dampening the ego. And there, as in a beautiful poet's dream in his “Germanenzug”, Robert Hamerling remembers - the old ancestors of the Germans are still sitting over there in Asia, while these old ancestors of the Germans are moving into Europe, into the West , Robert Hamerling describes beautifully how these Teutons are camped on the border of Asia and Europe, how the sun goes down - he beautifully describes the moon that rises, the whole landscape -, how the Teutons are camped. Only one is awake: the blond Teut, the youth. But in front of Teut, the future destinies of the Germans are written in the stars in wonderful signs. And the genius of the Germans, the spirit of the German people, speaks to the blond Teut, to the leader of the Germanic peoples to the German West. And Hamerling says beautifully:","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"10. The World View Of German Idealism.

Sehen wir nicht immer dieses Streben - was der Deutsche wissen kann, wie zu einem Seelenimpuls zu machen auch für das Göttlich-Geistige -, andächtige Stimmung auch in der Wissenschaft zu entwickeln? Wie schön, wie wunderbar ist es zum Beispiel, wenn ein Deutscher - und deshalb gerade darf er vielleicht heute erwähnt werden -, der in Österreich als einer der größten Deutsch-Österreicher erscheint, sich vertiefend in das deutsche Wesen, wenn er auch nicht vielleicht zu denjenigen Begriffen gekommen ist, die heute ausgestaltet uns vor Augen traten, so zu empfinden die volle Wiedergabe desjenigen, was heute an Ideen entwickelt worden ist hier: Ich meine Robert Hamerling, Österreichs größten deutschen Dichter der neueren Zeit, der das schöne Wort gesprochen hat, als Deutscher sich fühlend in Österreich, das schöne Wort gesprochen hat: Österreich ist mein Vaterland; doch ich fühle es: Deutschland ist mein Mutterland - so ausdrückend die Einheit, die heute so fest geschmiedet ist durch Deutschland und Österreich, durch Mitteleuropa hindurch. Diesem Robert Hamerling tritt vor die Seele diese ganze Eigentümlichkeit des deutschen Volksseelenwesens, wie ich sie heute aus dem idealistischen Weltbild der Deutschen heraus zu entwickeln versuchte - damals als sie glaubten, den Zug zurück machen zu können, wie die Deutschen herüberkommen aus Asien, mitbringend den Drang, den Allgeist zu erfassen, den sie später durch Erhöhung des Ichs, nicht durch Herabdämpfen des Ichs, in ihrer Kunst, in ihrer Bildung, in ihrer Philosophie, in allem ihrem Wesen und Wirken in der Welt zum Ausdruck bringen sollten. Und da erinnert es Robert Hamerling wie in einem schönen Dichter-Traum in seinem «Germanenzug» - cs sitzen noch drüben in Asien die alten Vorfahren der Deutschen, während nach Europa herein, nach dem Westen, diese alten Vorfahren der Deutschen ziehen -, beschreibt Robert Hamerling wunderschön, wie an der Grenze von Asien und Europa diese Germanen lagern, wie die Sonne untergeht - wunderschön beschreibt er den Mond, der aufgeht, die ganze Landschaft -, wie die Germanen hingelagert sind. Nur einer wacht: der blonde Teut, der Jüngling. Vor Teut aber stehen in wunderbaren Zeichen der Sternenschrift die künftigen Schicksale der Deutschen ausgesprochen. Und der Genius der Deutschen, der Geist des deutschen Volkes, spricht zu dem blonden Teut, zu dem Führer der Germanen nach dem deutschen Westen.
