Alongside Gryphius, the Silesian poet Daniel Casper von Lohenstein (1635-1683) was one of the most important writers of the German Baroque. He was a lawyer, emissary, and imperial councilor, and published a large number of masterful tragedies in addition to his principal creative opus, the large-scale but unfinished novel Arminius, which is regarded as a roman à clef about social and political conditions in the Holy Roman Empire following the Thirty Years’ War. Lohenstein’s works always contain a wealth of intellectual and educational substance and are characterized by flashy effects and lively plots in the style of Baroque theater. Until now, only the dramas (1953ff.) and poems (1992) have appeared in individual editions. The Berlin project thus represents the first complete historical-critical edition with comprehensive commentary. In addition to Lohenstein’s literary works, the volume also includes letters and life testimonies, which deepen our understanding of the author, his times, and his works. The overall edition encompasses 25 volumes and is divided into six sections: Abteilung I: Lyrik(Bearbeiter: Ursula Paintner und Claus Zittel)1./2. Lyrik - Text u. Varianten3.
