Institution

Max Planck Society

Research Institutes and Laboratories

The Max Planck Society is recorded here as one continuous institution with the Kaiser Wilhelm Society, the German research organization founded in Berlin in 1911 and renamed in 1948.

Facts

Sourced to the subject's own account1911 is the Kaiser Wilhelm Society's own founding; the 1948 renaming to Max Planck Society, after its post-war refounding under Allied requirement, is told in the description above rather than recorded as a second founding year, consistent with how this atlas dates other institutions with a renamed, multi-stage history.
