Abstract
The festive event at the occasion of Axel Borsdorfs valediction was devoted to the topic: Understanding the world – a geographical challenge. The guest speaker took up this topic and confronted the geographical view at the world with the current perspectives of a virtual world.

In contrast, the author sketches key ideas of an integrative geography focusing at humankind as a day-by-day actor in an unavailable world.
