Emkendorfer district
The Emkendorfer Kreis was a literary and musical circle that was formed from 1783 in the Emkendorf mansion around Friederike Juliane von Reventlow and her husband Friedrich Karl . His romantic - pietistic enthusiasm stood in decided opposition to the French Revolution , the Enlightenment and rationalism .
The circle included Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock , Heinrich Christian Boie , Matthias Claudius , Johann Caspar Lavater , Johann Heinrich Voss and Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi ; and La Fayette found himself in there. Among other things, the circle turned against rationalism in theology , as it had gained a foothold at the theological faculty of the University of Kiel . Through good networking among the nobility and civil servants, the district gained political influence, which cost some Kiel scholars the office.
Alluding to the Weimar Musenhof Emkendorf was also called "Weimar of the North", a title which is also the residence of the Eutin with the Eutiner circle adorned.
