The '''''Berichte der deutschen chemischen Gesellschaft''''', often known simply as '''''Berichte''''', was one of the leading German-language academic journals in chemistry. It was founded in 1868, the year after the foundation of the [[Deutsche Chemische Gesellschaft]] (German Chemical Society, now the [[Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker]]) by [[Adolf von Baeyer]],<ref name="GDCh">{{citation | title = Brief History of GDCh and its Predecessor Organizations | url = http://www.gdch.de/gdch/historie__e.htm | publisher = Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker | accessdate = 2010-09-02}}.</ref> and Baeyer also published the first article in the journal, on the [[reduction]] of [[indigo]] [[dye]]s.<ref>{{citation | title = Ueber die Reduction des Indigblaus | pages = 17–18 | first = A. | last = Baeyer | authorlink = Adolf von Baeyer | journal = Ber. Dtsch. Chem. Ges. | year = 1868 | volume = 1 | issue = 1 | doi = 10.1002/cber.18680010107}}.</ref>

In 1919, the journal formally split into two parts: ''Abteilung&nbsp;A'' for news relating to the DChG (''Vereins-Nachrichten''); and ''Abteilung&nbsp;B'' for scientific papers (''Abhandlungen''). Although the two parts were issued with separate [[ISSN]]s and [[CODEN]]s, they were still published together under a single cover: references to Part&nbsp;A are usually distinguished with an "A" before the page number.

Publication ceased in 1945 due to the disruption caused by World War&nbsp;II, which saw the offices of the Deutsche Chemische Gesellschaft destroyed and the society disbanded. Successor societies were soon set up in the British and American sectors of occupied Germany,<ref name="GDCh"/> and publication of the journal resumed in 1947 under a new name, ''[[Chemische Berichte]]''. However, ''Chem. Ber.'' kept the same sequence of volume numbers as the older ''Berichte'', starting its volume series at volume&nbsp;80 (vols.&nbsp;78 and 79, corresponding to 1945–46, were never published).

In 1996, the Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker sold its publishing arm, [[Verlag Chemie]] (VCH), to Wiley,<ref>{{citation | title = About Wiley-VCH | url = http://eu.wiley.com/WileyCDA/Brand/id-32.html | publisher = Wiley-VCH | accessdate = 2010-09-02}}.</ref> and along with it ''Chemische Berichte''. From 1998, ''Berichte'' has been merged into the ''[[European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry]]'' along with eight other journals from various European chemical societies.<ref>{{citation | title = European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry | url = http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/%28ISSN%291099-0682c/homepage/ProductInformation.html | publisher = Wiley-VCH | accessdate = 2010-09-02}}.</ref>
