The Institute for the German Language (IDS) was founded in Mannheim in 1964, and this is still its location. In the initial years, its main office was in the Friedrich-Karl-Straße.
In 1992, twenty-one researchers from the former Central Institute for Linguistics of the Academy of Sciences of the GDR in East Berlin were successfully integrated into the research of the IDS. In the same year, the IDS was relocated to its new building in R5, 6-13.
The photograph shows a partial view of the entrance to the IDS.
