Johannes Thienemann (12 November 1863 – 12 April 1938) was a German ornithologist and a pioneer bird bander who established the Rossitten Bird Observatory, the world’s first.
It receives support from the Sielmann Foundation and works closely with western partners, including the Vogelwarte Radolfzell with which it operates a joint trapping and banding station.
