With Wilhelm and Caroline von Humboldt through Berlin-Mitte
City walk with Dorothee Nolte ("Wilhelm von Humboldt - A life portrait in anecdotes", 2017).
"Basically, it is connections with people that give life its value," is a much-quoted saying by Wilhelm von Humboldt. For the educational reformer, university founder, linguist and diplomat, the connection to his art-loving wife Caroline was particularly important in his life. We walk in the couple's footsteps through Mitte and hear about Wilhelm's youth in the Mendelssohn household, the couple's many travels and unconventional marriage and the founding of Berlin University.Translated with DeepL
