Heinrich Steffens (May 2, 1773–February 13, 1845), was a Norwegian-born German philosopher, scientist, and poet. (Also Henrik Steffens or Henrich Steffens)
At the age of fourteen he went with his parents to Copenhagen, where he studied theology and natural science. In 1796 he lectured at the University of Kiel, and a year later went to the University of Jena to study the natural philosophy of Friedrich Schelling. He went to Freiburg in 1800, and there came under the influence of Friedrich Werner.
After two years he returned to Copenhagen, and is said to have introduced German romanticism to Denmark in 1802 with nine lectures given at Valkendorffs Collegium.
