| Title in another language: | Heinrich Barth in Africa. The Contact with the Unknown. Analysis of his "Travels and Discoveries". |
| Summary: |
This paper gives overview over the travels and works of the German explorer Heinrich Barth (1821-1855), who traveled in the 1850s through the Sahara and the Chad-Region and who reached Timbuctoo as one of the first Europeans ever. Barth was the only participant of his expedition (an expedition which was sent out by the Royal Geographical Society in London) who made his way back home. The aim of this work is to investigate if Barth was - as modern writers use to describe him - an unprejudiced observer of the African culture. How did Barth react when meeting members of indigenous peoples and how did he treat his African servants? Was he - as he continuously emphasizes - indebted to science or is there evidence in his work that speaks against that?

| Summary in another language: |
Die Arbeit gibt eine Übersicht über die Reise- und Forschungstätigkeit des deutschen Afrikareisenden Heinrich Barth (1821-1865), der zur Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts die Sahara durchquerte, die Tschad-Region bereiste und als einer der ersten Europäer die Stadt Timbuku erreichte. Als einziger Expeditionsteilnehmer kehrte Barth nach Europa zurück. Ziel der Arbeit ist es herauszufinden, ob Barth - wie in der Literatur oft beschrieben - tatsächlich ein unvoreingenommener Beobachter der Fremde war. Wie verhielt er sich gegenüber Einheimischen, wie war sein Verhältnis gegenüber seinen afrikanischen Dienern? War Heinrich Barth tatsächlich das, was er selbst vorgab zu sein (nur wissenschaftlichen Zielen verpflichtet) oder finden sich in seinem Reisewerk Anhaltspunkte, die dies widerlege?
