The German Bromeliad Society

„Plants create bonds“ that was the idea of a handfull of Bromeliad enthusiasts in 1970 and they thus founded the German Bromeliad Society. Under the leadership of Dr. Gustav Schoser, the director of the Frankfurter Palmengarten at that time, leading scientists, plant breeders and plant collectors worked together to establish a new platform for this plant group and to achieve wider public attention.

The targets which were formulated at the time – information exchange on cultural issues, participation in exhibitions, regular meetings, cultivating regular contact between members, the support and release of scientific works to the public – are still relevant today.

As a result of this, the member magazine „The Bromeliad“ has been able to introduce and describe innuberable new discoveries in bromeliad-species over the years.

At present we have 365 registered members, including 34 institutions like botanical gardens and other plant societies. We have registered members from the following countries:

Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Bolivia, Brasil, France, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Luxemburg, Madiera, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Austria, Sweden, Switzerland, Spain, Taiwan, Hungary, the USA and Venezuela.
