Heute vor 235 Jahren: Humboldt in Ingelheim

235 years ago today: Humboldt in Ingelheim - insights into the exciting life of the natural scientist with Latin American enjoyment
Literary-culinary evening

As a student, the 20-year-old Alexander von Humboldt (1769–1859) visited Nieder-Ingelheim on a trip to Germany. Together with his fellow student Steven Jan van Geuns, he visited the ruins of the Imperial Palace on October 14, 1789 and then stopped at the inn at what was then the post office. Exactly 234 years after this visit, the bistro restaurant “Johann in der Alten Post” invites you to a Latin American 4-course menu. Many foods that we take for granted today come from the areas Humboldt researched: potatoes, tomatoes, zucchini, chocolate, avocado, peanuts, pineapples and a few more. The evening is supplemented with literary-historical anecdotes that come from Alexander von Humboldt's authentic expedition reports.

A cooperation between the Museum bei der Kaiserpfalz and the bistro restaurant “Johann in der Alten Post”.
