  The dynamical density-density correlation function is calculated for the
one-dimensional, half-filled Hubbard model extended with nearest neighbor
repulsion using the Lanczos algorithm for finite size systems and analytically
for large on site repulsion compared to hopping amplitudes. At the zone
boundary an excitonic feature exists for any finite nearest neighbor repulsion
and exhausts most of the spectral weight, even for parameters where no exciton
is visible at zero momentum.
