Abstract
In this paper, statements in a letter from Alexander von Humboldt to the German diplomat Count Ferdinand von Galen, dated June 21, 1830, are used to explain Humboldt’s attitude toward a project of an expedition to Spain which had been put forward by the Spanish government. Humboldt’s communications in the same letter also illustrate his criticism of the conservative Spanish political system and his attitude toward the movement for independence in Latin America in its global context around the year 1830.
Zusammenfassung
Briefliche Äußerungen Alexander von Humboldts (in einem Brief an Graf Ferdinand von Galen vom 21.6.1830) werden herangezogen, um seine Haltung gegenüber einer 1830 in Aussicht stehenden Einladung der spanischen Regierung zu einem Forschungsaufenthalt in Spanien zu erläutern. Die Äußerungen lassen Schlüsse zu auf die politische Wahrnehmung Humboldts in Spanien, seine Ablehnung des spanischen restaurativen Systems und seine Position zur lateinamerikanischen Unabhängigkeitsbewegung in ihrer weltpolitischen Verflechtung um 1830.
