Senckenberg Deutsches Entomologisches Institut

The was founded in 1886 as a "National Museum" with emphasis on systematics and taxonomy, it developed after 1922 as an institute of the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gesellschaft co-operating with the Imperial Biological Institute to become a mediator between systematic and applied entomology. After a history full of change, the Institute moved in 2004 to a new building on the ZALF campus at Müncheberg. Since January 2009 the DEI became part of the Senckenberg Forschungsinstitute und Naturmuseen.
Its new name is Senckenberg Deutsches Entomologisches Institut.

The tasks of a centre for information transfer serving a large number of users, particularly in the field of biodiversity research, is now of more importance worldwide than ever. The DEI is unique in Germany in being able to fulfil this role.
Inseparable from its research activity are the excellent entomological library and the remarkable insect collections. The Institute publishes two journals which are the basis of a worldwide literature exchange.
