Sidonia Hedwig Zäunemann - crowned poetess of the early Enlightenment

The research project focuses on the Thuringian poet Sidonia Hedwig Zäunemann (1711-1740), one of the poetae laureati honored by German universities for her poetry and erudition. However, knowledge about her remains incomplete, sometimes contradictory or erroneous. Writing in the early Enlightenment, Zäunemann is an example of a learned woman, decades before the 'Weimar Classicism'. But under what conditions did she live and write, primarily in Erfurt? Zäunemann's writings testify to great literacy, she shows herself to be familiar with contemporary as well as with ancient literature, without it being known so far what education she was able to acquire under what circumstances and what access she had to books and thus to the knowledge of her time. In her writings there is mining jargon just as she speaks of a "seraglio". There is at the same time evidence of censorship in Erfurt, which prevented the publication of at least two poems, and strong criticism by contemporaries. In fact, her last work, a longer satire, is the only work published in Frankfurt, which indicates a field of tension and by no means promises unproblematic publication conditions, quite apart from the specific question of her gender and what role this played.

The project is particularly concerned with showing Zäunemann in the context of her time, in order to demonstrate the 'networks of relationships' in which she stood, Zäunemann's personal environment in Thuringia, especially in Erfurt, Jena, and Ilmenau, as well as her contacts with the court and the dukes of Saxony. Correspondingly important are, for example, the correspondences she had with other scholars in Hamburg and Wolfenbüttel. The project also aims to examine Zäunemann from a comparative and interdisciplinary perspective, for example by focusing on the Ilmenau engraver Stockmar, who produced an engraving of her, or the Gotha medalist Wermuth, who planned medals for her. The findings and results are to be published in a monograph.
