Abstract
For want of material or philological elements that could help provide an answer to his questions, the author combines an immanent interpretation of H’s wellknown hymn Friedensfeier, taken as a coherently argumented discourse, with a careful attention to its immediate historical context. This approach aims at identifying the political issues at stake which allow to establish a linkage between the following facts : 1. the definitive version of the poem was written between 1801 and 1802. 2. although it seems to have been completed, it was not published during the poet’s lifetime 3. the manuscript disappeared around 1822. 4. its recovery in London in 1854 triggered off a fierce debate among German scholars.
