Deutsche Nationalbibliografie

The Deutsche Nationalbibliografie (German National Bibliography) can be accessed free of charge via the catalogue of the German National Library at http://dnb.dnb.de. The catalogue serves as an initial bibliographic index and contains the entire library holdings. We thereby meet our legal mandate to perform seamless bibliographic indexing

  • of all German and German-language publications from 1913 onwards
  • Germanica and translations of German-language works published abroad
  • works by exiled German writers published between 1933 and 1945

The continuity of the Deutsche Nationalbibliografie is safeguarded by means of our data protection policy and our work in the field of long-term availability.
