The poem "Zurich, zum Storchen" by Paul Celan is often read as a document on the tension between Celan and Nelly Sachs, which resulted particularly from their different attitudes to the Shoah. However if the poem is read in connection with the cycle "Die Niemandsrose" and with Celan’s poetological thinking at this time, Celan’s opposite standpoint means much more than a theological discussion: it serves for the affirmation of human presence.

Paul Celan often reflects over the possibility of realising, recognising, and "knowing" an Other and Reality through poetry. In so doing, he locates his poetry within the cognitive realm. From this perspective the poem "Sprachgitter" as well as the metaphor of "Sprachgitter" – which determines Celan's understanding of language in the late 1950s – can be further interpreted. In this essay, the poem "Sprachgitter" is interpreted as a process of recognition, realised through two actions: concentration and opening. Other poetological texts and letters of Paul Celan will be analysed from this perspective.
