from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christian Albert Schultze , from 1832 Knight von Schultze (born March 23, 1781 in Harskirchen , Principality of Nassau Saarbrücken , † July 20, 1851 in Wildbad ), was a German forest clerk.

Life

Albert von Schultze was born the son of a lieutenant colonel who served in French services in the Nassau infantry.

He attended school and the Ludwigsgymnasium in Saarbrücken and in 1801 was employed as a forester in St. Ingbert . In 1803 he was promoted to chief forester and in 1805 to forest inspector. In 1807 he was appointed to Kassel as sub-general inspector to help build the forest organization of the Kingdom of Westphalia . There he was promoted to General Inspector of Forests in 1808 and in 1811 he was given the office of administrator of the crown hunts.

After the end of the Kingdom of Westphalia in 1813, the Elector Wilhelm I of Hessen-Kassel appointed him to the electoral chamber and forest council in Hanau . However, due to political developments, he no longer took up this position, but was appointed by the provisional Generalgouvernement Mittelrhein to organize the forestry on the other side of the Rhine and to take over the management of the forest administration.

When the Kingdom of Bavaria took possession of what was then the Rhine District on May 1, 1816 , he entered royal Bavarian service and was confirmed as chief forest master and in 1818 appointed to the government council and district forest adviser to the royal government in Speyer . In the seven years of his activity there, he reintroduced the principle of sustainability for the management of the state forests, cultivated the deforested mountain slopes of the Vosges and reintroduced an orderly administration.

In the spring of 1826 King Ludwig I appointed him to the State Ministry of Finance in Munich , where he was appointed Chief Inspector of Forests and Ministerialrat .

In August 1843, under his chairmanship, a conference took place in Johanniskreuz , in which comprehensive management rules were laid down for the forests on the colorful sandstone mountains of the Palatinate , from which the term Palatinate Forest came into being .

After the death of his superior, the secret forestry councilor Joseph von Thoma (1767–1849), he became his successor and took over the management of the entire Bavarian forest administration.

Albert von Schultze was married, his son Friedrich Albert Schultze (1808–1875) followed him into the forestry office and became head of the Bavarian state forest administration .

After his death in Wildbad, where he was relaxing, Albert von Schultze was transferred to Munich and buried.

Act

He provided the Bavarian forestry with a secure base that was no longer dependent on personal views, arranged the budget and accounting and supervised economic execution. He was particularly anxious to rear the oak . He also played a key role in the creation of the Bavarian mass tables, which were important for wood measurement and were adopted by other countries.
