Sammendrag

In March of 1913, a fragmentary manuscript, a folio written on both sides in the handwriting of Georg Friedrich Wilhelm Hegel, was auctioned off in Berlin. Four years later, after a publication by Franz Rosenzweig, it became known as the "Oldest System-Program of German Idealism". One hears the murmuring of a genius in this little text, which has been attributed to Schelling, Hölderlin, or Hegel three friends who studied together in Tübingen. This "fetish" of research on idealism continues to feed the scholarly debate over the fragments authorship and the obscurities of its origin and content.

Some new ideas about the purpose of the early public art museums may emerge from the study of the document. It is possible to discern a connecting line ofthought, a common concept of purpose, between Holderlin's idea of 'eternal return' and Mies van der Rohe's Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin, as well as between Hegel's historicism, Schinkel's Altes Museum and James Sterling's Staatsgalerie in Stuttgart.
