The Society of Natural History, NHG  
       
       
    
	 
	The Naturhistorische Gesellschaft, founded in 1801, is the greatest society for natural science
	in Germany whose members work on a voluntary basis and which is widely known not only
	in its centre area of Franconia, but far beyond the borders of Germany.
  
	About 2000 members can work on a scientific basis in 11 departments, amateurs as well
	as experts. There are seminars, excursions, experimental scientific work, and ongoing
	publications in the following fields: archaeology, prehistory, botany, ethnology, geology, karst
	and speleology, mycology and herbalist studies, regional geography, entomology.
  
	The Natural History Society also supports the Freiland-Aquarium and -Terrarium Stein (open-air terrarium and aquarium) in Stein near
	Nuremberg, ´Megilo´, the archaeological playground, the nature reserve ´Külsheimer
	Gipshügel´ near Bad Windsheim (owned by the society since 1905), the dolomitic cave
	Windloch near Großmeinfeld, the gypsum cave of Höllern near Markt Nordheim, the Celtic
	house Landersdorf, as well as archaeological projects in Germany and abroad. 
  
	In that way the Natural History Society offers its members a rich field of leisure activities.
	All departments offer information and knowledge in their special fields in lectures,
	excursions, seminars and publications. The cooperation with relevant institutes and scientists
	offers opportunities for all to gain first-hand expert knowledge.
