About
The Museum Koenig Bonn, formerly Zoological Research Museum Alexander Koenig (German: Zoologisches Forschungsmuseum Alexander Koenig, abbreviated ZFMK), is a natural history museum and zoological research institution in Bonn, Germany. The museum is named after Alexander Koenig, who donated his collection of specimens to the institution. The museum was opened in 1934 and forms, since 2001, the Leibniz Institute for the Analysis of Biodiversity Change, abbreviated LIB, together with the Museum of Nature Hamburg. The LIB is affiliated with the Leibniz Association.
On 1 September 1948 the museum saw the opening of the Parlamentarischer Rat, the organ to create the German constitution. The actual proceedings happened in the nearby Pädagogische Akademie, the later Bundeshaus.
