Contributions to the History of German Language and Literature (PBB) is a specialist journal of German medieval studies for older German language and literature.

The magazine was founded in 1874 by the young grammarians Wilhelm Braune and Hermann Paul . The abbreviation used today comes from the older name of the magazine as Pauls und Braun's contributions . The editors are Jens Haustein (since 2013 for Jan-Dirk Müller ), Susanne Köbele (since 2012 for Klaus Grubmüller), Damaris Nübling and Renata Szczepaniak (as of 2019). The magazine is published by Verlag Walter de Gruyter (formerly Max Niemeyer Verlag ).

Since issue 134, issue 1 (2012), the editorial team has been supported by a ten-member scientific advisory board for the areas of linguistics and literary studies in assessing the submitted contributions.

Programmatically, the magazine focuses on contributions to the linguistics and history of the German language and literature, including Old Norse and Old English, Germanic philology, Middle Latin philology as well as interdisciplinary articles on antiquity and Indo-European studies.
