German Congress for Geography
The German Congress for Geography (until 2015 German Geographers' Day) is a scientific conference of geographers from the German-speaking area, first held in 1865 . The 61st Geography Congress took place in Kiel in September 2019 , the next one is to be held in Frankfurt am Main in autumn 2021 .
The initiative for the first German Geographers' Day in Frankfurt am Main in 1865 came from Otto Volger and August Petermann . Since 1951 a German Geographers' Day has been held every two years by a university in the German-speaking area. From 1975 to 1989 the GDR geographers organized their own geographers' days. Since the International Geographical Congress (IGC) took place in Cologne in 2012 , and thus for the second time in the German-speaking area after Berlin in 1899, the German Geographers' Day was canceled in 2011 and was held as part of the IGC. The renaming of the German Geographers' Day to the German Congress for Geography for the 2015 conference in Berlin was done in the sense of a gender-neutral designation.
