Centers on the love for Creation as one of the spiritual connections between religions. In particular, the special focus is on the historical significance of women in this context. In Islam as in Christianity, there were mystics who expressed their love for the Divine, for the Creator, in texts that were practically erotic. The Sufis Rumi and Hafis, as well as the Carmelite John of the Cross, are well-known male examples of this phenomenon. Long before them, Rabi’a al-‘Adawiyya (c. 717 – 801) was active. She was one of the earliest and to this day most important Sufi mystics, who sang of her love for the Creator in many poems. Three hundred years later lived Hildegard von Bingen (1098 – 1179, who is considered the first representative of German mysticism of the Middle Ages. Later, Mechthild von Magdeburg, Mechthild von Hackeborn, Gertrude von Helfta, Teresa de Avila and others followed with their mystical poetry.
