  abstract  = {Alexander von Humboldt und Hector Berlioz begegneten sich zum ersten Mal im Dezember 1842 in Paris. Sp{\"a}ter trafen sie sich mehrfach in Paris und Berlin, insbesondere im Februar 1847 in Berlin. Bei dieser Gelegenheit schrieb Humboldt einen Brief an Berlioz, in welchem er dem Komponisten ein Empfehlungsschreiben des preußischen K{\"o}nigs Friedrich Wilhelms IV. an dessen Schwester, die Zarin von Rußland, ank{\"u}ndigte. Der Humboldtsche Brief und das k{\"o}nigliche Empfehlungssschreiben sind auf den Tag datiert, an dem Berlioz in St. Petersburg eintraf. In dem Artikel wird der Brief Humboldts zum ersten Mal ver{\"o}ffentlicht.},

  abstract  = {In a letter dated August 6, 1797 to his friend Christian Gottfried K{\"o}rner, Friedrich Schiller characterized Alexander von Humboldt as a person of limited imagination, who, in spite of his numerous activities, would never be able to achieve greatness in his scientific pursuits. Yet, only in 1849 did Humboldt learn of Schiller's opinion from the published correspondence between Schiller and K{\"o}rner. Nonetheless, Humboldt declared that this basically unjust characterization of himself by Schiller would never prevent him from admiring the great German playwright and poet; moreover, Humboldt looked for comfort in a similarly harsh opinion of Johann Gottfried Herder also expressed by Schiller. In the end, Humboldt could barely conceal his feelings of disappointment regarding Schiller's opinion, especially because Humboldt had considered Schiller to be his friend.},
