Bavarian Botanical Society

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bavarian Botanical Society e. V. (BGB) was founded on February 4, 1890 to promote science and research, public and vocational education as well as environmental and landscape protection, in particular through the planned, scientific research of the entire flora of Bavaria, taking into account the flora of neighboring countries, maintenance floristry, systematics, plant geography, the history of flora and nature conservation .

history

In 1909, the care of nature conservation was included in the company's program, and land began to be acquired whose flora is particularly worthy of protection for reasons of nature conservation or the history of the flora. The most famous of these areas is the Garchinger Heide , from which larger parts were bought. The area owned by BBG now covers 25.6 hectares. In 1943, BBG acquired the almost 4000 m² Lochhauser Sandberg, which is now in the industrial area of Gröbenzell , and in 1960 Schaifele-Wiese on the west bank of the Staffelsee , a 1.2 hectare wet meadow . The natural monument Kissinger Bahngruben (8000 m²) south of Augsburg with remnants of the formerly widespread heather vegetation on the gravel of the Lechfeld belongs to the BBG. The floristic wealth of these areas led to new discoveries, for example on the Lochhauser Sandberg.

The society publishes the reports of the Bavarian Botanical Society, which are accessible online . The sending of the report volumes to exchange partners at home and abroad as well as their digitization is carried out by the Botanical State Collection Munich , based on a cooperation agreement from 1934. The society's herbarium comprises around 250,000 items and is in the herbaria of the Ludwig Maximilians University Munich and the Botanical State Collection Munich, which is located in Munich- Nymphenburg , Menzinger Straße 67.

Flora von München is one of the company's projects in the Flora von Bayern initiative . One step towards this goal was the annotated list of species of ferns and flowering plants in Bavaria published at the end of 2014 : preliminary work on a new flora of Bavaria by Wolfgang Lippert and Lenz Meierott, exactly 100 years after the last complete inventory by Franz Vollmann in 1914.

Well-known members were or are Ferdinand Arnold , Hermann Fischer , Otto Kandler , Otto Ludwig Lange , Wolfgang Lippert , and Wilhelm Schacht .
