Under the title “‘Unausstehlich’ und ‘liebenswert’. Zu Hannah Arendts Umgang mit den Quellen ihres Rahel Varnhagen-Portraits”, Wein examines Arendt's use of documents on Varnhagen in her life story; she reads the text as a presentation of unknown material and the uncovering of new facets of Varnhagen and at the same time as Arendt's commentary on contemporary history.

Anne-Dorothea Ludwig's and Hannah Lotte Lund's anthology “Rahel Levin Varnhagen. Reception - Projection - Imagination” Berlin, Boston: De Gruyter 2024) focuses on Varnhagen's reception since the 19th century.
