    Emil Schlagintweit and Tibet research in the 19th century
    Abstract
    Die Geografen Hermann und Robert Schlagintweit sowie der Geologe Adolph Schlagintweit zahlen zu den ersten deutschen Wissenschaftlern, die den Himalaja und das Karakorum-Gebirge erforschten. Einige Gebiete dieser damals weithin noch unerschlossenen Gebirgsregionen betraten sie als erste Europaer uberhaupt. Die Expedition war von Alexander v. Humboldt angeregt und durch die britische Ostindien-Kompanie sowie den preussischen Konig Friedrich Wilhelm IV. finanziert worden. Diese Konstellation erwies sich als konfliktreich. Die Entdeckungsreisenden sahen sich der universalwissenschaftlichen Naturforschung Humboldts verpflichtet – aber auch den politischen und wirtschaftlichen Interessen ihrer britischen Auftraggeber. Dies und der unterschiedliche Wissensstand uber Asien in Grossbritannien und dem restlichen Europa sorgten fur kontroverse Bewertungen der Expedition, die zwischen einer Glorifizierung der Buder als herausragender Entdecker und ihrer kompletten Ablehnung schwankten. Die Autoren dieses reichbebilderten Katalogs stellen die Expedition und ihre Ergebnisse erneut auf den Prufstand, geben Aufschluss uber die Organisation einer solch grossen Unternehmung und vermitteln einen Einblick in die umfangreichen Sammlungen, welche fur heutige Forschungsfragen weiterhin von grosser Relevanz sind. ENGLISH: The geographers Hermann and Robert Schlagintweit and the geologist Adolph Schlagintweit are among the first German scientists to explore the Himalayas and the Karakorum Mountains. Some of these regions, which were still largely untapped, were the first Europeans to enter. The expedition had been stimulated by Alexander von Humboldt and had been financed by the British East India Company and the Prussian King Frederick William IV. This constellation proved to be conflicting. The explorers were committed to Humboldt's universal scientific research, but also to the political and economic interests of their British clients. This and the differing knowledge about Asia in the UK and the rest of Europe caused controversial assessments of the expedition, which oscillated between a glorification of the brothers as an outstanding discoverer and their complete refusal. The authors of this richly illustrated catalog re-examine the expedition and its results, provide information on the organization of such a large enterprise, and provide an insight into the extensive collections, which are still of great relevance for today's research questions.
