Hermann Grote (7 July 1882 – 12 August 1951) was a German ornithologist known for his studies of African avifauna.
While serving as a director of a sisal plantation in German East Africa, he published papers on the local avifauna (from 1909 to 1913). As a Russian POW during WWI, he learned Russian, a skill set he subsequently used to translate Russian ornithological works into German. During his career, he was associated with ornithological research performed at the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin.[1]
In 1923 he was elected a corresponding fellow of the American Ornithologists' Union.[1]
