Friedrich Nietzsche Foundation & Nietzsche Documentation Center Naumburg

The founding of the Friedrich Nietzsche Foundation , which is particularly committed to the preservation of Nietzsche memorials , also goes back to the initiative of the Nietzsche Society . The foundation's goals are to be implemented by supporting the Nietzsche Society and the Nietzsche sites in Saxony-Anhalt (the Nietzsche memorial in Röcken, the Nietzsche House in Naumburg and the Nietzsche Documentation Center in Naumburg). The Nietzsche Documentation Center , which is located next to the Nietzsche House in Naumburg, was opened on October 14, 2010. The director of the foundation is Andreas Urs Sommer , the director of the Nietzsche Documentation Center in Naumburg is Ralf Eichberg . The center is intended to represent the Nietzsche reception in all its breadth and is also the seat of the foundation. The basis for the work of the center is the "Richard Frank Krummel Collection" acquired by the city of Naumburg, which is regarded as the largest private collection for Nietzsche reception in the 19th and 20th centuries. This collection by the American German scholar Richard Frank Krummel is documented in the four-volume work Nietzsche and the German Spirit . The center has had the estate of Nietzsche researcher Wolfgang Müller-Lauter since 2012 . In 2013 important Nietzscheana by the art historian Tilmann Buddensieg were added. In 2020 the philosophical, scientific and literary estate and the scientific library of Ludger Lütkehaus went to the Nietzsche Documentation Center and is available for research there.
