Das Schleiermacher-Archiv ist primär ein begleitendes Publikationsorgan für die seit 1980 erscheinende Gesamtausgabe der Werke Friedrich Schleiermachers (KGA), welches Materialien und Untersuchungen veröffentlicht, die in engerer Beziehung zur KGA stehen. In Sammelbänden werden zudem Beiträge dokumentiert, die auf internationalen Schleiermacher-Kongressen vorgetragen worden oder in diesem Zusammenhang entstanden sind.

Friedrich Schleiermacher preached in the Reformed Church in Berlin from 1809 onwards. From 1812 up to 1828 he printed a special hymn sheet for each of his main services. But why? To answer this question it is necessary to undertake a systematic study of the hymn sheets, which are largely unknown. For this, the periodical for a whole year is presented with a commentary; the volume chosen is that for 1817, the first year that was dated throughout. It is preserved in its entirety with 31 hymn sheets. At the same time, the multi-faceted image of Schleiermacher presented by the KGA has an important new dimension added to it, that of Schleiermacher as a liturgist, hymnologist and publisher.
