English description: The journey of several months of the Berlin banker Abraham Mendelssohn has been described in letters by his daughter Fanny, which are published here based on a critical study of the sources. She continually describes the events of the journey, social circumstances and landscapes and in doing so displays a keen narrative talent. These almost entirely unknown texts are complemented by drawings by her brother Felix, excerpts from the diaries of the philosopher Karl Heyse, who accompanied them, commentaries and other reports. German description: Uber die mehrmonatige Fahrt des Berliner Bankiers Abraham Mendelssohn hat die Tochter Fanny in Briefen berichtet, die hier quellenkritisch veroffentlicht werden. Sie schildert kontinuierlich die Reiseerlebnisse, soziale Zustande und Landschaften und lasst darin auch ein ausgepragtes erzahlerisches Talent erkennen. Die nahezu unbekannten Texte werden erganzt durch Zeichnungen des Bruders Felix, Tagebuchauszuge des mitreisenden Philologen Karl Heyse, Kommentare und weitere Berichte.
