The Bettenburger Round Table was a literary circle at the beginning of the 19th century. The circle was brought into being by Christian Truchseß von Wetzhausen zu Bettenburg in 1814. Friedrich Rückert (1788–1866), Jean Paul (1763–1825), Heinrich Voss the Elder belonged to this circle . J. (1779–1822), Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué (1777–1843) and Gustav Schwab (1792–1850).

They gathered at the Bettenburg near Hofheim in Lower Franconia . Friedrich Rückert even undertook a well-known hike from Schweinfurt to the Bettenburg. When it comes to the round table, the term “Franconian Weimar” is used again and again.
