Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAL-MAR
MALTZAN, HEINRICH VON, BARON ZU WARTENBURG UND PENzL2N (1826-1874), German traveller, was born on the 6th of September 1826 near Dresden. He studied law at
Heidelberg
 , but on account of ill
health
  spent much of his time from 185o in travel. Succeeding to his father's property in 1852, he extended the range of his journeys to Morocco and other parts of Barbary, and before his return
home
  in 1854 had also visited
Egypt
 , Palestine and other countries of the Levant. In 1856-1857 he was again in
Algeria
 ; in 1858 he reached the city of Morocco ; and in 186o he succeeded in performing the
pilgrimage
  to Mecca, which he afterwards described in Meine lhallfahrt nach Mecca (
Leipzig
 , 1865), but had to flee for his life to Jidda without visiting Medina. He then visited Aden and Bombay, and after some two years of study in Europe again began to wander through the coasts and islands of the Mediterranean, repeatedly visiting
Algeria
 . His first book of travel, Drei Jahre im Nordwesten von Afrika (
Leipzig
 ), appeared in 1863, and was followed by a variety of works and essays, popular and scientific. Maltzan's last book, Reise nach Sildarabien (Brunswick, 1873), is chiefly valuable as a digest of much information about little-known parts of
south
  Arabia collected from natives during a residence at Aden in 187o-1871. Among his other services to science must be noticed his collection of Punic
inscriptions
  (Reise in Tunis and Tripolis, Leipzig, 1870), and the editing of Adolph von Wrede's remarkable journey in Hadramut (Reise in Hadramaut, &c., Brunswick, 187o). After
long
  suffering from neuralgia, Maltzan died by his own hand at Pisa on the 23rd of February 1874.
