Neue Deutsche Biographie (NDB; literally New German Biography) is a biographical reference work. It is the successor to the Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie (ADB, Universal German Biography).[1] The 27 volumes published thus far cover more than 23,000 individuals and families who lived in the German language area (Sprachraum).
NDB is published in German by the Historical Commission at the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities and printed by Duncker & Humblot in Berlin. The index and full-text articles of the first 26 volumes are freely available online via the website German Biography (Deutsche Biographie) and the Biographical Portal.
