Hermann Grote (7 July 1882 – 12 August 1951) was a German
ornithologist known for his studies of African avifauna.
While serving as a director of a
sisal plantation in
German East Africa, he published papers on the local avifauna (from 1909 to 1913). As a Russian
POW during
WWI, he learned
Russian, a skill set he subsequently used to translate Russian ornithological works into German. During his career, he was associated with ornithological research performed at the
Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin.[1]
