englischWho were the participants in the ‘Cosmic Round’ that made Schwabing a magical place around 1900? And what can the ‘Cosmics’ still tell us today? The contributions in this conference volume address these questions. Their aim is to revive research on the mystical tendencies of Munich's literary topography at the turn of the century.

The topics of inquiry include Karl Wolfskehl‘s poems and Stefan George’s social circle, Ludwig Derleth's secret writing system, Ludwig Klages’ themes and the reflections on group dispositives of the Munich bohemian world.

The contexts of the mystical Schwabing, where the Kosmik was born, where Stefan George met the god Maximin, Albert von Schrenck-Notzing carried out his séance experiments and the Countess von Reventlow received her guests, are invocations of a literarily and artistically intertwined occultism. This anthology sets out to reevaluate this field, not least to encourage further academic interest.
