This article was originally published in German in 2010, to help celebrate the centenary of the establishment of a bird observatory on the island of Helgoland, Germany. It describes the beginnings of the observatory, and its development since, highlighting the key personnel involved and the linked establishment of the Institute of Avian Research. The main research themes of the modern era are outlined, with examples, and an appendix describes some of the rare migrant birds recorded on the island of Helgoland.
