Thus, from a rock and dangerous currents, arose the legendary location of the Lorelei which sparked \u201cRhine Romanticism\u201d. With the end of the Holy Roman Empire, the Rhine became a German river. Landscape, poetry and legend became the source of a transfigured German identity. The river retained its politically charged nature until the 20th century. When we look at the Rhine today, however, we regard it as a European river. We see it with different eyes and reflect on its romantic and nationalistic exaltation that is part of Germany\u2019s past.\u00ab<\/p>\n Dr. Rainer Doetsch, Rhine Museum, Koblenz<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=“4.7.3″ _module_preset=“default“ text_text_color=“#f4f4f4″ header_2_font=“||||||||“ header_2_text_color=“#ce1b18″ custom_margin=“100px||41px||false|false“ text_font_size_tablet=“14px“ text_font_size_phone=““ text_font_size_last_edited=“on|tablet“ header_2_text_shadow_style=“none“]<\/p>\n The legend of the Lorelei, a beautiful witch who lures sailors to their deaths on the eponymous rock in the Rhine river, is a fabrication by Clemens Brentano from 1800. In the Napoleonic Wars, the banks of the Rhine became a highly political location. A German identity needed to be invented following the end of the Holy Roman Empire. Friedrich sought this identity in the landscape, by invoking the past and inward reflection, and painted motifs from the north, east and south of the German-speaking countries. The Lorelei rock is depicted here as a stronghold of German and romantic identity against the expansion of French rationalism. The French are forced to retreat back across the Rhine.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=“https:\/\/www.mse-kunsthalle.de\/z_kairos_epoche_12\/“ button_text=“Mehr zur Entstehung und zur Epoche“ _builder_version=“4.7.3″ _module_preset=“default“ custom_margin=“98px|||||“][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wolfgang Beltracchi, 2018LoreleyHandschrift: Caspar David Friedrich, ca. 1820, Dresden\u00d6l auf Leinwand auf Karton, 56 x 43,5\u00bbDie wildromantischen Ufer des Mittelrheins, von Burgen und Ruinen ges\u00e4umt, gaben Dichtern und K\u00fcnstlern als Landschaft zwischen Natur und Geschichte schon seit dem sp\u00e4ten 18.
