The Naturwissenschaftlicher Verein für Schwaben (NWVS) publishes a report once a year. The report represents a collection of articles presenting the most important scientific findings by its members. Additionally, our society publishes also reports on special topics.

The society was founded as “Naturhistorischer Verein Augsburg“ in 1846. In 1886, the original name was replaced by its today’s name “Naturwissenschaftlicher Verein für Schwaben“. This is the reason why the nomenclature of the published reports changed accordingly. It is also worth to mention that during the first 100 years a report was not necessarily be published each year. This is especially true for the time during World War I and II. 

An overview of how the nomenclature changes over the years:

A bibliography of all articles published between 1846 and 1996 can be found in “150 Jahre Naturwissenschaftlicher Verein für Schwaben“ (ISBN: 3-922769-25-X). A second bibliography concerning all articles published between 1997 and 2006 is part of the report of 2007 (“Berichte des Naturwissenschaftlichen Vereins für Schwaben“, 11. Band, pages 115-124, ISSN: 0720-3705).

A printed version of the report is sent to its members at the end of each year. It is free for members since the expenses are covered by the membership fee.

Some of the older reports are still available at the office of our society.

Editors of the reports: Dr. Eckhard Hartmann, Dr. Klaus Kuhn;
