520 Thinking about and relating to the environment ¿́¿ what
the Germans call Umwelt, id est, the world that surrounds
us ¿́¿ in the way that we do today has a long tradition
within modern German culture. German scientists were among
the many European explorers that left Europe in the late
eighteenth century on voyages of discovery to then unknown
parts of the world. For some explorers, discovery meant
the fundamental confirmation of their own superiority vis-
a¿¿-vis primitive peoples and primitive natures; for
others it resulted in a shake-up of their belief in the
superiority of European civilization in the face of the
achievements of other civilizations, or in the face of
spectacular nature scenes that outperformed the temperate
European landscapes in terms of scale, sublimity, and
grandeur. The documents that contain these stories of
discovery left an important impression not only on German
culture, but on European civilization at large, defining
it vis-a¿¿-vis other civilizations and other natures.
Europe today is the product of these encounters, including
the way we conceive of our Umwelt, the environment that
surrounds us. The story told in this book is the story of
the rise of the modern German environmental imagination
with particular emphasis on its narrative and visual
components, complementing and expanding Barbara
Stafford¿́¿s important work in her seminal study of the
illustrated travel account from 1984. Chapters on Georg
Forster, Alexander von Humboldt, Albert Bierstadt, Leni
Riefenstahl, and Werner Herzog unfold the key stages in a
process that constitutes the unfolding of the modern
German environmental imagination.
