After his death, Humboldt's friends and colleagues created the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (Stiftung in German) to continue his generous support of young academics.
Nakon Humboldtove smrti njegovi prijatelji i kolege osnovali su Zakladu "Alexander von Humboldt" (Stiftung na njemačkom) kako bi nastavili von Humboldtovu velikodušnu potporu mladim znanstvenicima.
