Monument to Johann Gottfried Herder
Highlight • Monument
Herders in Bückeburg have been remembering a monument to the town church since 1908
At the end of April 1771, Herder, on the mediation of the Kammerrat Westfeld, took up his new position as Oberprediger and Konsistorialrat in the royal seat of the county of Schaumburg-Lippe, in Bückeburg. The relationship to the thoroughly soldier-like and no contradiction tolerating sovereign and military theorist Graf Wilhelm was difficult, also because his wife Maria became friends with Herder.
The time of the Bückeburger residence was Herder's actual Sturm und Drang period. His treatise on the origin of language, which he had begun in Strasbourg in 1772 and was awarded by the Berlin Academy, opened a series of writings with which he was to become groundbreaking for the young literary and linguistic sciences in Germany. Together with Goethe, he wrote in 1772 for the Frankfurter Scholar Anzeigen, edited by Merck, a critical and programmatic organ of German bourgeois-oppositional intelligence, to which he contributed many reviews on historiography, philosophy and religion. In 1773, the friendship with Merck collapsed.
