Konrad Hans Frank Dettner (born December 22, 1951 in Ehingen (Danube) ) is a German zoologist and ecologist. He mainly works on the chemical ecology of insects.

Dettner is the son of the councilor Kurt Dettner and his wife Johanna nee Adam. Dettner grew up in Calw and studied biology and chemistry for higher teaching positions at the TH Stuttgart (1970-1973) and the University of Hohenheim (1973-1975). In March 1975 he married his wife Brigitte and graduated with the state examination at the end of the year. The topic of the thesis was population dynamics study on water beetles of two raised bogs in the northern Black Forest . After a brief activity as a research assistant at the University of Hohenheim and as a subject teacher for biology at the Hölderlin-Gymnasium Stuttgart, he received a scholarship from the Friedrich Naumann Foundation from 1976 to 1977 . His dissertation, which he wrote in Hohenheim in 1977 under the supervision of Hinrich Rahmann , was on ecophysiological and chemotaxonomic studies using the pygidial gland systems of the Dytiscidae (Hydradephaga) . Dettner completed his habilitation in 1985 at RWTH Aachen University and has been Professor of Animal Ecology II at the University of Bayreuth since 1986 . From 1999 to 2005 he was President of the German Society for General and Applied Entomology .
