„... daß einem leid tut, wie er aufgehört hat, deutsch zu sein“ - Alexander von Humboldt, Preußen und Amerika
No full textAbstractWithin the context of the recent „Prussia Tricentennial 2001“, this paper encourages a different view of Prussia by offering a new look on the writings and activities of one of its most famous citizens, Alexander von Humboldt. Starting with the traditional (and problematic) image of Prussia focussed on the Hohenzollern and, above all, Friedrich II, it highlights the problems between Prussian and German historiography on one side, and the author of „Cosmos“ and his world-wide prestige on the other. Interestingly enough, the tensions or misunderstandings between Alexander and his home country can be dated back to the Humboldt family, i.e. to Wilhelm from Humboldt who noted, in a letter to his wife, how his brother had „stopped to be German“. Alexander von Humboldt's cosmopolitanism and the characteristic development of his scientific conceptions, building a globalized and globalizing praxis based upon a scientific network and continous comparisons in global scale, allow us to discover new dimensions in Humboldtian science and thinking as well as promising perspectives for understanding Alexander von Humboldt's role and significance for transdisciplinary science today -and a different view of Prussia and cultural identity in Europe beyond the well-known stereotypes
Alexander von Humboldt. Die Russland-Expedition. Von der Newa bis zum Altai
No full textMit seiner Russland-Reise im Jahr 1829 erfüllt sich für Alexander von Humboldt ein Jugendtraum. Nach dem Südamerika-Unternehmen dreißig Jahre zuvor ist es seine zweite große Expedition - die bislang jedoch weitaus weniger bekannt ist.
Auf Einladung des Zaren Nikolaus I. bereist Humboldt die Weiten des eurasischen Kontinents bis an die chinesische Grenze. Mehr als 18.000 Kilometer werden er und seine Begleiter am Ende zurückgelegt haben. Während Humboldt die Natur erforscht - Berge und Gesteine, Tiere und Pflanzen und vor allem das Klima -, durchmisst er zugleich ein Imperium, das sich in einer Phase der Repression befindet. Von politischen Zwängen kann auch er sich nicht freihalten. Aus den Reisebriefen Humboldts an den russischen Finanzminister, an den Bruder Wilhelm und den Freund François Arago sowie dem Bericht seines Begleiters Gustav Rose hat Oliver Lubrich eine mehrstimmige Erzählung von dieser Expedition zusammengestellt. Sie vermittelt ein lebhaftes Bild des schon damals international berühmten Gelehrten, aber auch des einfühlsamen Bruders und Freundes

Jewish gynecologists in Germany in the first half of the twentieth century
No full textThe political changes in Germany of 1933 led to discrimination, expulsion and emigration of Jewish doctors. This article addresses the memory of gynecologists who were eminent physicians or made fundamental discoveries. Short biographies of Ludwig Fraenkel, Selmar Aschheim, Bernhard Zondek, Ludwig Adler, Robert Meyer and Paul Ferdinand Strassmann highlight their work and their links to the Gynecological Society in Berlin and to the German Society of Gynecology, the foundation of the latter being inspired by Wilhelm Alexander Freund from Strasbour
