Instituto Martius-Staden is a German-Brazilian institution of culture, history, and language in São Paulo. Founded in 1916 as an association of German teachers, the institute survived difficult times in the fourth and fifth decades of the century. The main problems were the laws and rules of the Vargas-period and the attempted ideological expansion of Nazi-Germany. The institute set up arquives and a library of German immigration and gathered a huge collection of mainly Brazilian-based German newspapers. In later years library sections of arts, German literature, and history were added. Since 1953 the institute has issued an annual publication named "Staden Jahrbuch" with contributions of renowned authors mainly on Brazil.
