【 摘 要 】

Article in German, Abstracts in English, German and French.From the history of A. v. Humboldt's appeal of 1836 to the President of the Royal Society to establish geomagnetic stations (Documents on the relations between A. v. Humboldt and C. F.Gauß)Letters of A. v. Humboldt to astronomers, partly unpublished, shed new light on the origin of his well-known appeal of 1836 which led to the establishment of geomagnetic observation stations all over the world. They show that its final version seriously strained his relations to C. F. Gauß. At the same time they give us a better view of the ways of thinking and working of these two great scientists.
