Der Aufsatz versucht anhand einiger Beispiele zu zeigen, dass es den Briefeschreibern weniger darum ging, die Empf{\"a}nger mit gediegener Bildung zu beeindrucken, als darum, ihren Gedanken anschaulicher und pr{\"a}gnanter Gestalt zu verleihen, zumal in gebildeten Kreisen die Kenntnis der Klassiker und der zeitgen{\"o}ssischen Literatur sozusagen zur Grundausstattung an Bildung geh{\"o}rte, mit der beinahe spielerisch umgegangen werden konnte.},

  abstract  = {Alexander von Humboldt has been characterized as the second, scientific discoverer of the New World, as the last universal scientist, Aristotle of modern times, etc. However, more or less hidden in his correspondence we find certain self-characterizations which are not that well-known. Some of them are quoted and discussed in the paper. Thus, an attempt is made to answer the question why Humboldt liked to call himself "the old man from the mountains", and whether or not he found it appropriate to be called "Aristotle of our age."},

  abstract  = {In letters to trusted friends and in conversations Humboldt often showed an inclination to make fun of persons, institutions and situations. In most cases he did this tongue in cheek, rarely hurting people seriously. A special target of Humboldt's ironical remarks was the Prussian ministry of education and culture because of its animosity to the natural sciences which Humboldt wanted to promote. Often Humboldt expressed his frustration about narrow-mindedness and arrogance which he observed in his hometown of Berlin. Sometimes he had reasons to criticize the Prussian Academies of Sciences and of Arts. Humboldt had a fine sense of humor and many critical remarks can only be understood in the context in which they were made. The reader should therefore be warned, not to take any ironical or sarcastic characterization of a person or an institution literally.},

A letter to the American Envoy, Joseph A. Wright (1810 - 1867), underlines Humboldt's admiration for the fi rst president of the United States. At the same time Humboldt asked the diplomat to mail a letter to the German-American Bernard Moses (1832 - 1897) in Clinton, Louisiana, who had named his son Alexander Humboldt Moses (grave on the Hebrew Rest Cemetery \#2 in New Orleans, burial plot A, 12, 5). It appears to be possible that the Moses family still owns Humboldt's letter.},

Humboldt reagierte auf dieses Geschenk mit einer Einladung Lepels, den das pers{\"o}nliche Treffen mit dem ber{\"u}hmten Gelehrten ehrte aber auch entt{\"a}uschte, denn Humboldt ging nur oberfl{\"a}chlich auf die Ode ein, stattdessen las er seinem Gast aus dem zweiten Band des Kosmos vor.
