The Handbook of Natural Region Divisions of Germany (Template:Lang-de) was a book series resulting from a project by the former German Federal Institute for Regional Studies (Bundesanstalt für Landeskunde) to determine the division of Germany into natural regions. It was published in several books over the period 1953-1962. Around 400 authors, mostly geographers, took part. This natural region division of Germany is still used, with amendments, today.
