"Ungeheure Tiefe des Denkens, unerreichbarer Scharfblick und die seltenste Schnelligkeit der Kombination"
- On the 17th of July 1800 Alexander von Humboldt was elected as an extraordinary member of the Prussian Académie royale des sciences et belles-lettres at Berlin. The paper first deals with Humboldt’s scientific activities before his election and then goes into detail as far as his integration into the work of the Academy is concerned. Humboldt was elected as a chimiste célèbre, but as a member of the Academy he did not work as a chemist. When Humboldt proposed in 1837 to classify the members of each class in special fields, he chose for himself the field of "mineralogy-geology".

La presentación estudiará primero las actividades científicas de Humboldt antes de su nombramiento para después entrar en detalle en su integración en la labor de la Academia. Humboldt fue elegido como chimiste célèbre, pero como miembro de la Academia no trabajó como químico. Cuando Humboldt sugirió en 1837 clasificar a los miembros de cada clase en áreas especificas, seleccionó para sí mismo el campo de la "mineralogia-geologia".
