Summary: "Die älteste Kunst, insbesondere die Baukunst der Germanen" von Albrecht Haupt is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work explores the architectural heritage and artistic traditions of the Germanic peoples from the Migration Period through to the times of Charlemagne. It aims to reconstruct and acknowledge the artistic identity and achievements of the Germans, particularly in the context of a wider cultural heritage that often overshadowed their own contributions. The opening of the text provides an overview of the author's aspirations for the work. Haupt expresses the need for a comprehensive examination of Germanic art, particularly architecture, which has been previously overlooked in favor of the classical traditions of the Mediterranean cultures. He emphasizes the unique characteristics and evolution of Germanic artistry, acknowledging both its indigenous roots and foreign influences. He also outlines the historical context of Germanic migrations, the subsequent cultural interactions, and reinforces the idea that Germanic peoples have a distinct and significant artistic legacy that deserves recognition and appreciation.
