Bavarian Forest Association
The Bavarian Forest Association e. V. ( BWV ) is an association for culture, homeland and folk culture, nature conservation, landscape maintenance and hiking in the Bavarian Forest . It is based in Zwiesel and is entered in the register of associations of the Deggendorf District Court (VR 10158).
history
The association's founder was Anton Niederleuthner (1846–1907), chief magistrate in Passau . The foundation of the association in 1883 goes back to his meeting with foresters in Bodenmais . The Bavarian Forest Association was founded in Deggendorf town hall on November 25, 1883. Bartholomäus Stölzl from Bodenmais was appointed first chairman. On June 6, 1885, Niederleuthner founded the Passau section as the first local association, and on August 22 he was elected the first president and made Passau the seat of the association. He headed the association for over 20 years and founded over 40 other local associations. The club emblem that is still used today goes back to Niederleuthner.
A club magazine was also established with Der Bayerwald . Its editor in the 1930s was the National Socialist Eugen Hubrich .
The goals of the association were above all to develop the previously little-visited Bavarian Forest as a hiking and holiday area, to create a dense network of hiking trails and to erect shelters. Later one could concentrate on the maintenance of the hiking trails and their marking, the preservation of shelters and observation towers as well as measures like the protection of the shafts . Until the establishment of the Bavarian Forest Nature Park in 1967 and the Bavarian Forest National Park in 1970, the Bavarian Forest Association was the only major institution that placed the culture and nature of the Bavarian Forest at the center of its activities.
present
Today (2016) the association comprises 60 sections and has around 20,000 members. The individual sections have important structures and shelters. For example, the Kollnburg castle ruins and Neunussberg Castle are owned by the Viechtach Section , the Lusenschutzhaus owned by the Grafenau Section . Important annual events are the Bavarian Forest Day and the “Zwieseler Buntspecht” art exhibition in Zwiesel. On the Oberbreitenau , a youth education center is being created in the Landshut house named after the Landshut section .
On October 26, 2008, the association celebrated its 125th anniversary in the ballroom of the old town hall of Deggendorf. Minister of State Josef Miller gave the keynote address at the place where the Bavarian Forest Association was founded on November 25, 1883.
Since the beginning of 2016, the association has been a member of the German Hiking Association again , to which it belonged before until he left on December 31, 2006. In the meantime, the Bavarian Forest interest group consisting of the Dreiburgenland and Ruderting - Neukirchen sections was a member of the German Hiking Association from June 2008 to the end of 2013.
