English summary: Gustav Landauer’s letters are part of the remarkable correspondences of the late 19th century. For the first time they were collected by his friend Martin Buber and published in two volumes “Lebensgang in Briefen” in 1929. After 1945 they became high treasured testimonies of the lost german-jewish culture, which was involved in oppositional circles of the German Kaiserreich as well as in the aesthetic and philosophical modernity. In Landauer’s correspondences the writing of letters, which was in former times a prominent kind of bourgeois art of conversation, has become a pragmatic medium to preserve life as well as it can be seen as an elaborated work equipment, used by the interpreter, the journalist, the dramatic adviser and political philosopher. Landauers letters are addressed to Wilhelm Bolsche, Else Lasker-Schuler, Martin Buber, Erich Muhsam, Fritz Mauthner, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Petr Kropotkin. German description: Gustav Landauer gehort als Briefautor zur Briefkultur des spaten 19. Jahrhunderts. Er korrespondierte mit Wilhelm Bolsche, Else Lasker-Schuler, Martin Buber, Erich Muhsam, Fritz Mauthner, Hugo von Hofmannsthal und Petr Kropotkin. Der Brief als Medium burgerlicher Gesprachskultur fungiert hier nicht nur als Rettungsnetz der Lebensbewaltigung, sondern wird zugleich ein hochproduktives Arbeitsmittel fur den Ubersetzer, Journalisten, Theatermann und politischen Denker Landauer. Als personliche Zeugnisse hohen Rangs werden seine umfangreichen Briefschaften nach 1945 zu Dokumenten der Zeitzeugenschaft fur eine deutsch-judische Briefkultur, die in oppositionelle Zirkel des Kaiserreichs ebenso hineinragt wie in die asthetische und philosophische Moderne.
