Legal notices
Copyright and Rights of Use
All content and works published on this website (in particular texts, images, graphics, videos and audio files) are subject to German copyright law.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, the rights of use for copyright-protected content lie with the respective rights holder. Third-party content is identified as such; their copyrights are respected.
The reproduction, editing, distribution and any form of use outside the limits of copyright law require the prior written consent of the respective author or rights holder. Downloads and copies of this site are permitted exclusively for private, non-commercial use.
Should you nevertheless become aware of a possible copyright infringement, please notify us accordingly. Upon becoming aware of any infringements, the content in question will be removed immediately.
All brand names and trademarks mentioned on this website and, where applicable, protected by third parties are subject without restriction to the provisions of the applicable trademark law and the ownership rights of the respective registered owners. The mere mention of a trademark does not imply that it is not protected by the rights of third parties.
Liability for content
The content of this website has been compiled with the utmost care. However, no guarantee can be given as to the accuracy, completeness and up-to-date nature of the content provided.
As a service provider, we are responsible for our own content on these pages in accordance with Section 7(1) of the German Data Protection Act (DDG) under general law. However, pursuant to Sections 8 to 10 of the DDG, we are not obliged to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information or to investigate circumstances that indicate illegal activity.
Obligations to remove or block the use of information under general law remain unaffected by this. However, liability is only possible from the time we become aware of a specific legal infringement. Should such infringements come to our attention, the content in question will be removed immediately.
We expressly reserve the right to change, supplement or discontinue individual pages or the entire content of this website without prior notice.
Liability for external links
This website contains links to external third-party websites over whose content we have no influence. The respective provider or operator of the linked pages is always responsible for their content.
At the time the links were created, the external sites were checked for possible legal violations; no illegal content was identifiable at that time. A permanent monitoring of the content of the linked sites is not reasonable without concrete evidence of a legal violation. Should any legal violations come to light, such links will be removed immediately.
Gender-sensitive language
As you, as a user of the website, have probably noticed, the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin has opted to use the gender colon (:). We aim to address all social genders and gender identities. In doing so, we pay particular attention to people who do not fit into the male/female gender dichotomy, such as transgender, intersex and queer individuals. By using this symbol, we wish to raise social awareness of gender diversity.
The texts are being revised gradually. We ask for your understanding if the gender colon is not yet used consistently throughout.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
Legal validity
Should any individual provisions of this text not, no longer or not fully comply with the applicable legal situation, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.
