Heidegger versus Nietzsche

One can not compare onions to eggs. Heidegger has an hermeneutic approach, i. e. to my modest opinion a “realistic” one, whereas Nietzsche has an idealistic/anti-idealistic one.
I know the German language “quite well”. Heidegger’s language and terminology sometimes might even seem to be “awkward”, but his descriptions are adequate to being and true to human conditions. Some of Nietzsche’s vocabulary might even have come into mainstream, especially the term “superman”, which I find totally ridiculous, and wandered into many languages. Heidegger was simply too clever to write such catchphrases.
Nietzsche was above all “anti”. The golden age of the German culture was the time of Göthe with Hölderlin, Schiller and many, many others. But in the second half of the 19th century had already started the descant. With the two symbolic figures F. Nietzsche and R. Wagner. To my modest opinion their philosophy and respectively music are cartoons of the authentic German character in which moderation and self-limitation is always central. Heidegger may have called it “Gelassenheit”. Göthe would certainly have plugged his ears by the music of Wagner. “Nitzschean philosophy” he would certainly have condemned, because it opens the gates of hell. And that’s what it is basically about.

One should also consider the historical landscape in which the two “thinker” grew up. Nietzsche came from relatively boring central Germany with a protestant background. Heidegger was a catholic from Southern Germany with a much more interesting ancestry and “pedigree”. In Southern Germany have been living Celts, like in almost all of the areas of Europe that bearded the fruits of civilisation. With the probably only exception of the Greeks themselves.
Some years ago I had an excursion with an old teacher from the Martin-Heidegger-Gymnasium to the surroundings of the little town of Meßkirch, Heidegger’s birthplace. He was a clever guy, tall and slim, but with similar facial features like Heidegger. We visited a some 1800 years old graveyard, hidden in the woods, of Roman Legionaries, but who all came from Greece! With Greek names ect. Southern Germany belonged to the Roman Empire! And after the breakdown of that empire the legionaries usually remained in the area …
