In the article under consideration the events' development in the Bildungsroman are reviewed by Wieland and Blanckenburg. The Bildungsroman scheme examines the crisis development of a young man in his self- identification. The goal and the explanatory presentation of superior humanity remind of the religious ideas and substitute the older religiously defined models of self-development. Wolfram's Parzival may be considered as predecessor of the bildungsroman. Parzival grows up without a father, he is a child of nature. The birdsong moves his heart, he sticks remotely to the knight world and may be considered as a "Fool", that is (=i.e.) alienated from the whole world. After a meeting with knights whom he has considered to be gods, he would like to imitate them, without realizing what the knight estate in fact means. He has two educators who perform the role of his father. They are Gurnemanz and Trevrizent who have taught him the formation about the world and religion. Trevrizent has also revealed him the truth about the Grail Cup. Such educational experience makes Parzival to be an absolutely different man. He has acquired knowledge and positive qualities which at last contribute to finding of the Grail Cup. Thus the earthly and religious diadems are connected with the ideal of a me- dieval man.
