Karl Andree

Karl Andree (20 October 1808 – 10 August 1875) was a German geographer, publicist and consul.

After having been implicated in a students' political agitation he became a journalist, and in 1851 founded the newspaper Bremer Handelsblatt.

From 1855, however, he devoted himself entirely to geography and ethnography, working successively at Leipzig and at Dresden.

[1] His most famous works include North America in geographical and historical outline (Nordamerika in geographischen und geschichtlichen Umrissen) (Brunswick, 1854) or Buenos Aires and the Argentinian Republic (Buenos Ayres und die argentinische Republik) (Leipzig, 1856).

In Geographic Migrations (Geographische Wanderungen) (Dresden, 1859), he put emphasis on ethnological moments and argued that ethnology should be considered a main foundational point of political science.
