Munzinger-Archiv is a German publisher and online encyclopedia based in the Baden-Württemberg city of Ravensburg.

The content of the archive includes entries about people in politics, business, culture, sport, music and society, about all countries in the world and about current events.

The online service with several million entries is supplemented by other databases, works and portals from partners and is mainly used by publishing houses, the press, radio, political institutions and libraries.

The Munzinger-Archiv was created by Ludwig Munzinger in 1913,[1][2] who, as a former journalist and editorial director of the Berliner Dienst press agency, saw a market for an information service that would allow newspaper editors to quickly and reliably research background information on people and factual topics.

Starting with 1923 the archive became increasingly successful, and in 1926 Munzinger moved the company headquarters back to Berlin.
