English summary: These letters from 1903 to 1905 depict Max Weber in his new role as a private scholar in Heidelberg. Torn between the fields of political economy and cultural studies, he positions himself by means of his methodological essays. Die protestantische Ethik und der Geist des Kapitalismus (The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism) becomes his key topic, and the acquisition of the Archiv fur Sozialwissenschaft und Sozialpolitik (Archive for Social Studies and Social Policy) provides him with a significant platform for communication and publication. Additional background information is provided by carefully edited and annotated letters along with the volume's introduction. Significant records from this period are the letters written while he was travelling, in particular while on a three-month trip to America. Here we encounter Weber as a curious and intellectual observer of the New World. German description: Die Briefe 1903-1905 zeigen Max Weber in seiner neuen Rolle als Heidelberger Privatgelehrter. Im Spannungsfeld von Nationalokonomie und Kulturwissenschaft positioniert er sich durch seine methodologischen Aufsatze. Mit "Die protestantische Ethik und der ‘Geist des Kapitalismus" findet er sein grosses Thema, und durch den Kauf des "Archivs fur Sozialwissenschaft und Sozialpolitik" erhalt er ein wichtiges Kommunikations- und Publikationsorgan. Dazu liefern die sorgfaltig bearbeiteten und kommentierten Briefe im Zusammenspiel mit der Bandeinleitung die Hintergrundinformationen. Bedeutsame Zeugnisse sind in dieser Zeitspanne die Reisebriefe, in deren Mittelpunkt die dreimonatige Amerikareise steht. Hier begegnet uns Weber als neugieriger und intellektueller Beobachter der Neuen Welt.
