The German Botanical Society (DBG: Deutsche Botanische Gesellschaft e.V.) represents the plant sciences and is the largest society for plant scientists in the German-speaking countries. It advances scientific botany nationally and internationally.

Here we'd like to inform you about our objectives, our activities and our sections which advance different fields of plant sciences. We also describe the scientific awards for prospective scientists which are presented by our society. With this internet site we want to network and inform plant scientists. News are posted in the "Actualia". Every other year we organize the international "Botanikertagung".

The DBG is one of the oldest botanical societies in the world which still is active. It is a non-profit organisation and is a member of the VBIO (German Life Sciences Association) which formerly was the "Verbund biowissenschaftlicher und biomedizinischer Gesellschaften e.V." (vbbm). The DBG is also a member of the DNK, the German National Committee, which represents German biologists in international organisations.

The new website of the Society is online since August 3rd 2007.
