The main aim of this paper is to present the findings of the latest, authorial indepth research concerning the ancestry of a chaplain and chronicler to the masters of the Livonian branch of the Teutonic Order, Hermann von Wartberge, who lived in the 14th century. The author successively addresses and attempts to fill the gaps regarding this historical figure using primary and secondary sources. The main conclusion is that Hermann might have originated from the old Mecklenburgian house of von Warburg.

The main question of my paper—inspired by Aby Warburg’s notion of Pathosformeln and his reading of Darwin’s The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animal— is how animals can represent pathos of human experience in a way, which humanistic, purely anthropocentric forms of expression can no longer account for. In order to present my argument I would like to analyse three examples from literature. Rainer Maria Rilke’s Malte, Thomas Bernhard’s Distortion and W. G. Sebald’s Austerlitz. In all three cases animal are necessary to express human pathos but the intensity of this expression seems to go far beyond the limits of the traditional human-animal division.
