Karoline von Günderrode's Work as "Projection Space Romanticism" in Christa Wolf's Work

"Projection Space Romanticism" is the title of the conversation between Christa Wolf and Frauke Meyer-Gosau (1982), denoting a tendency that emerged in the Democratic Republic of Germany in the early 1960s and even more clearly in the 1970s: the rediscovery of Romanticism. In her essay Der Schatten eines Traumes. Karoline von Günderrode - ein Entwurf (1979), her short story Kein Ort. Nirgends (1979) and her essay Nun ja! Das nächste Leben geht aber heute an. Ein Brief über Bettine (1980), Christa Wolf followed her own path regarding the reception of Romanticism in the GDR. Motivated by women’s "historylessness," Wolf focuses her work on women, wanting to make them visible.
Wolf used the historical period of Romanticism as a model to work on "present-day material". She was interested in finding the starting point of the "appalling division of people and society" and the suppression of the "female element" (WA 8, p. 238). Her interest lies with outsiders, their conceptions of individuality, and the resulting tensions thereof. This leads to the question of the significance of Romanticism in Wolf's work 1st as a model and 2nd as the starting point for her gender discourse. Both aspects will be examined in this dissertation project by using the reception of Karoline von Günderrode as an example. In this dissertation, the question will be examined as to why Günderrode in particular serves as a model for Wolf’s endeavor to trace the suppression of 'female elements', as will the question of the ways in which Wolf constructs Günderrode. The aim of this thesis is to find out what kind of model character Romanticism has for Wolf's writing. Wolf initially makes Romanticism the starting point for her reflection on "female writing". However, years later, even after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Wolf goes back to using mythology for her reflection on “female writing”. Therefore, the project attempts to find an answer to the following questions: does Wolf's recourse to Romanticism generate a form of "model Romanticism" (which as such also provides a template for others?) or does she use Romanticism as a historical model? In what relation do the progression and upheaval of Romanticism and the image of women Wolf portrays in the early Romantic period stand to each other? Against this background, Wolf's reception will be set in relation to the "model of Romanticism" by examining how Günderrode functions as a "projection space" for Wolf.
