Abstract
This article summarizes the historical development and future prospects of German‐speaking anthropology, beginning with the role of German scholar Wilhelm von Humboldt, often referred to as the founding father of linguistic anthropology. From Humboldt until World War II, language was frequently dealt with within Austrian, German, and Swiss anthropology. However, after the war, German‐speaking anthropologists did not pay much attention to language and linguistics, a situation that has recently begun to change.
