April 1774 in Wöllstein, Rheinhessen; gest. 29. Juni 1852 in Freiburg im Breisgau) war ein deutsch-russischer Arzt, Naturforscher und Forschungsreisender. Sein offizielles botanisches Autorenkürzel lautet "Langsd." --- Leben: Georg Heinrich von Langsdorffs Geburtsort Wöllstein lag im damaligen Herzogtum Nassau-Usingen. Sein Vater, Johann Gottlieb Emil, war Oberamtmann in Lahr und zuletzt Vice-Kanzler am Cassationshof des Großherzogtums Baden in Bruchsal. Die Familie hatte von dem Adelsprädikat, das ihr seit 1375 zukam, keinen Gebrauch gemacht; mehrere Mitglieder der Familie, unter diesen auch Georg Heinrich, erneuerten aber ihren Adelsstand durch persönliche Verdienste oder durch die besondere Gunst ihrer Landesherren. Zuschreibungen des Adelstitels Freiherr in der Literatur sind unbelegt erfolgt. Als solchen weist Georg Heinrich von Langsdorff weder die Heiratsurkunde von 1837 aus, noch hat er sich selbst in seinen Werken damit bezeichnet. Langsdorff besuchte die Schule zu Buchsweiler im Elsass und das Gymnasium in Idstein. In Göttingen nahm er das Studium der Medizin auf und schloss es bereits 1797 als 23-Jähriger mit der Promotion ab. Danach begleitete er den Prinzen Christian August von Waldeck-Pyrmont (1744-1798) nach Lissabon und trat nach dem Tod des Prinzen 1801 als Arzt in den Dienst der Hilfstruppen im Feldzug gegen Spanien ein. Nach dem Frieden von Amiens im März 1802 kehrte er nach Deutschland zurück. 1803 wurde er zum korrespondierenden Mitglied der Göttinger Akademie der Wissenschaften gewählt. Durch die in Deutschland gewonnenen Kontakte zu russischen Wissenschaftlern nahm er an der ersten Hälfte der 1803 begonnenen Weltumseglung von Adam Johann von Krusenstern mit dem Segelschiff Nadeschda von Kronstadt um das Kap Hoorn herum nach Kamtschatka teil. Dann kehrte er von Ochotsk durch Sibirien nach Sankt Petersburg zurück, das er 1807 erreichte. Seine Eindrücke und Erlebnisse aus der Forschungsreise hielt er im ersten Band seiner zweibändigen Bemerkungen auf einer Reise um die Welt in den Jahren 1803 bis 1807 fest.[5] Sie erschienen im Jahre 1812 in Frankfurt am Main. Seine Berichte gehören zu den frühesten und besten wissenschaftlichen Quellen über dieses Gebiet. Die Bücher enthalten viele Tafeln mit anschaulichen Illustrationen (unter anderem auch die erste Ansicht von San Francisco). Nach seiner Rückkehr wurde er Hofrat und Adjunkt bei der Kaiserlichen Akademie der Wissenschaften in Sankt Petersburg. Ab 1813 fungierte Langsdorff neben seiner wissenschaftlichen Tätigkeit als russischer Generalkonsul in Brasilien. 1822 segelte er mit 90 angeworbenen Auswanderern, mit dabei auch der Zweiraderfinder Karl Drais als Landmesser, zu seinem Landgut Mandioca in der Nähe von Rio de Janeiro. Dieses hatte er 1816 erworben und wollte es zu einem Mustergut ausbauen und die Kolonisation fördern. Unter anderem waren auf diesem Landgut auch die beiden bayerisc.

FIRST AMERICAN EDITION. Lacking the frontispiece, but with half-titles to each part present. Later quarter calf and marbled boards with red morocco spine label; interior browning with the occasional stain, marginal loss to upper corners of leaves M3, M4, and Z4, and a light damp stain affecting the last few signatures. First American edition (a reprint of the first English translation published in London, 1813-14). In 1803, Adam Johann Ritter von Krusenstern set out from Kronstadt, Russia on what would become the first Russian circumnavigation of the globe. Langsdorff accompanied the expedition as a naturalist and physician, but parted ways with the crew in 1805 upon reaching Kamchatka - a peninsula in far eastern Russia - continuing on to explore the Aleutian Islands and Alaska. In 1806 he sailed from Sitka to the Spanish presidio at San Francisco. He provides detailed descriptions of the region (the original German edition of 1812 actually included a plate that is the first published view of San Francisco) and of his meeting with commandant Josà Argüello. The visit resulted in the famed romance between Count Nikolay Rezanov of the Russian-American Company, who had traveled with Langsdorff, and Concepcià n de Argüello, the Spanish commander's daughter, immortalized in literature by Bret Harte, Gertrude Atherton, and others throughout the years. In addition to his descriptions of these places, Langsdorff also includes accounts of Brazil, Japan, Hawaii and Alaska. "Langsdorff's account is rich in descriptions of the peoples and cultures visited, and his descriptions of the Marquesans is particularly important and has become something of a classic" (Hill). The section on the vocabulary of various Ainu tribes is also of great interest. Langsdorff (1774-1852) was a German-Russian naturalist who trained in both medicine and natural history in Germany. Langsdorff was responsible for the eventual founding of Fort Ross by the Russian-American Company in 1812. Langsdorff and Rezanov, successful in obtaining supplies, returned to Sitka and then proceeded to Siberia and then overland to St. Petersburg. Langsdorff was thereafter made consul general of Russia in Rio de Janeiro and later led an expedition on the Amazon with a team of scientists. Though he was unable to complete the journey due to a serious illness, the team managed to collect a vast array of specimens and gather a wealth of information about the various tribes that they encountered. Their findings remain at the Academy of Sciences at St. Petersburg today.
