Zeitschrift für Kristallographie – New Crystal Structures is a bimonthly peer-reviewed scientific journal published in English.

Its first issue was published in December 1997 and bore the subtitle "International journal for structural, physical, and chemical aspects of crystalline materials.

"[1] Created as a spin-off of Zeitschrift für Kristallographie for reporting novel and refined crystal structures,[2] it began at volume 212[1] in order to remain aligned with the numbering of the parent journal.

Paul von Groth, Professor of Mineralogy at the University of Strasbourg, established Zeitschrift für Krystallographie und Mineralogie in 1877;[3] after several name changes, the journal adopted its present name, Zeitschrift für Kristallographie – Crystalline Materials, in 2010.

[4] The inaugural editors-in-chief were Hans Georg von Schnering[5][6] of the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart[7] and Heinz Hermann Schulz[5][6] of the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München.
