The circle is formed during the First World War . He includes

The group develops out of the Philosophical Society of Göttingen , which existed until the war , which distanced itself from Edmund Husserl after his turn to transcendental phenomenology and oriented itself towards Adolf Reinach .

Act

At first purely a circle of friends, after Reinach's death in 1917 the Bergzabern Circle tried to develop his realistic phenomenology and initially dealt primarily with Husserl. Taking up an idea from Herings and Reinach from the time before the war, the group tries - with the help of financial support from Winthrop Bell - to set up a kind of phenomenological institute including an archive and library in the Conrads' house in Bergzabern. In the course of the 1920s, work shifted to dealing with Martin Heidegger , whose influence on the student body the group judged to be extremely negative. His behavior towards Husserl is also heavily criticized as dishonest. The tone towards Heidegger intensified after the publication of Sein und Zeit in 1927 and his appointment as Husserl's successor at the University of Freiburg .

After the end of the Second World War , in the course of which Lipps, Stein and von Sybel lost their lives, the group's influence on the phenomenological movement decreased significantly.
