English summary: The question of European founding myths in the era of globalization is particularly important. Creating a European network, one must reflect on the European dimensions of the different national cultures and their identity-creating potential for the continent. One European founding myth of Europe is the wisdom of Egypt. Since the Enlightenment it had been promoted extensively in confrontation to the two other founding pillars of the continent, Hebraism and Hellenism. In the French literature of the so-called classic modern period thanks to Napoleon's expedition to Egypt and the deciphering of the hieroglyphs the myth of the wisdom of Egypt plays a significant role. The many mythical memories of Egypt show, that the most popular authors of modernity, including Nerval, Baudelaire, Gautier, Mallarme, designate them as fictitious projections, but nevertheless do not give up their claim of producing meaning and legitimacy. German description: Die Frage nach den Grundungsmythen Europas ist im Zeitalter der Globalisierung besonders virulent. Will man ein europaisches Netzwerk schaffen, muss man sich auf die europaischen Dimensionen der nationalen Kulturen besinnen und ihre fur den Kontinent Identitat stiftenden Potenziale verfolgen. Ein Grundungsmythos Europas ist der von der Weisheit Agyptens. Seit der Aufklarung wird er intensiv propagiert und den anderen grundungsmythischen Saulen des Kontinents, Hebraismus und Hellenismus, gegenubergestellt. In der franzosischen Literatur der sogenannten klassischen Moderne spielt dieser Mythos dank der Expedition Napoleons nach Agypten und der Entzifferung der Hieroglyphen eine grosse Rolle. Am Beispiel der zahlreichen Erinnerungsbilder Agyptens kann man beobachten, wie die bekanntesten Autoren der Moderne, darunter Nerval, Baudelaire, Gautier, Mallarme, solche mythischen Bilder als fiktive Projektionen ausweisen, jedoch deren Anspruch, Sinn und Legitimation zu stiften, nicht aufgeben.
