Aus dem Walde is a forest series published by the Lower Saxony Ministry for Food, Agriculture and Forests, based in Hanover , and intended primarily for north-west Germany. These communications from the Lower Saxony Forest Administration - so the subtitle - have been published at irregular intervals since 1957. In 2010 the 59th volume was published with the Atlas of Communion Resin in historical outlines from 1680 and current forest maps .

The range of topics covers almost the entire area of ​​forest science and management, from silviculture to forest history and forest protection . The majority of the volumes are monographs , but some are also anthologies of shorter essays by various authors. The focus is quite clearly on contributions from and for practice. Nevertheless, a number of standard forest works have appeared in the series, so that they are of considerable scientific importance.

The issues in A5 format were published as paperback up to and including volume 36 and since then as hardcover . Most of the volumes were printed by the Hanover-based specialist publisher M. & H. Schaper .

Well-known forest authors whose contributions were published in volumes of "Aus dem Walde" include Walter Kremser , Hans-Jürgen Otto , Horst Kramer , Kurt Borchers , Kurt Schmidt, Eilert Tantzen , Zoltán Rozsnyay , Karl Hasel , Wedig Kausch-Blecken by Schmeling and Fritz Schwerdtfeger .

The name Aus dem Walde was deliberately named after the series of publications of the same name, which the Royal Hannoversche and later Prussian Forest Director Heinrich Christian Burckhardt (1811–1879) founded and published in 1865. Of these messages in informal booklets , a total of ten booklets were published by Verlag Rümpler in Hanover by 1881. The series mainly dealt with the practical aspects of forestry, but also with hunting topics. The Lower Saxony state forest administration wanted to continue this tradition with the re-establishment in 1957. The longtime editor Hans-Jürgen Otto wrote in the "Preliminary remark" to volume 53 (Oldenburg 2000, p. II):

“In the 19th century, the founder of the series 'in loose succession', Heinrich Christian Burckhardt, wanted to get a voice from the forest to be heard. The foundation was deliberately directed against an intellectual current that tried to write into the forest with cool intellectuality. If Burckhardt noted elsewhere, but in the same sense, that the mathematical correctness of a thing initially had nothing to do with living reality, this is a characteristic not only of his nature and work, but also a guiding principle from the start from 'Aus dem Walde'.
