Lieblingminne und Freundesliebe in der Weltliteratur is an anthology of poetry about homosexuality, compiled by the German artist Elisar von Kupffer (Elisarion) and first published in 1900.

The word Minne, coming from medieval German times, usually denotes a form of heterosexual platonic love in which the lover sings praise of the beloved but does not make any concrete sexual advances.

Von Kupffer goes on to criticize the "cult of the woman", which he claims comes from imperial France and the court of Louis XIV.

The promotion of heterosexuality above everything else can, by his account, only lead to a comparatively lonely society, where social interactions and culture on a larger scale (as in the Greek poleis) is mostly missing.

For a short time, the book was even banned by the courts, but it was later reinstated due to a favorable deposition by Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff.
