Senckenberg – Leibniz Institution for Biodiversity and Earth System Research // Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung

The Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung was founded in 1817 by committed citizens of Frankfurt as the Senckenbergische Naturforschende Gesellschaft. Today, it is one of the most important research institutions in the field of biodiversity and, with the Frankfurt House, one of the largest natural history museums in Europe.

According to its long tradition, it is ‘the task of the Society to conduct natural research and to make the results of research accessible to the general public through publication, teaching and its natural history museums’ (Statutes §2). This is more important today than ever before, because thanks to modern nature research, answers can be found to urgent questions of the present, such as nature and climate protection.

The Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung (SGN) is responsible for the eight Senckenberg research institutes and the three natural history museums.

Die Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung wurde bereits 1817 von engagierten Frankfurter Bürgern als Senckenbergische Naturforschende Gesellschaft gegründet. Heute ist sie eine der wichtigsten Forschungseinrichtungen rund um die biologische Vielfalt und mit dem Frankfurter Haus eines der größten Naturkundemuseen Europas.

Gemäß ihrer langen Tradition ist es „Aufgabe der Gesellschaft, Naturforschung zu betreiben und die Ergebnisse der Forschung durch Veröffentlichung, durch Lehre und durch ihre Naturmuseen der Allgemeinheit zugänglich zu machen“ (Satzung §2). Das ist heute wichtiger als je zuvor, denn dank moderner Naturforschung können Antworten auf dringliche Fragen der Gegenwart gefunden werden, wie z. B. zum Natur- und Klimaschutz.

Die Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung (SGN) ist Träger der acht Senckenberg-Forschungsinstitute und der drei Naturkundemuseen.
