Live and act

Gut Dudendorf

Bernd Andreae was the great-grandson of the mechanical engineer Abraham Andreae . His father, Brami Andreae, was the son of Paul Andreae, who acquired the Dudendorf estate in 1886. As the first-born son, his father introduced him to agriculture and horse breeding at an early age. That should have a significant impact on his future life.

He and his siblings were initially tutored by a tutor on their parents' estate in Dudendorf. From 1936 he attended the Friderico-Francisceum high school in Bad Doberan . In 1941 he graduated from high school and was drafted into military service in the same year. In 1944 he was taken prisoner of war in the United States at the Battle of Monte Cassino . In the POW camp in Crossville, Tennessee , he completed a distance learning course at the University of Minnesota . In 1946 he returned to Germany. The estate in Mecklenburg was lost. In Büdingen he married Gisela Freiin von Reibnitz in the same year, whom he had known since his youth in Mecklenburg. The marriage had three children.

He completed an agricultural training and from 1947 studied agriculture at the University of Göttingen . In 1952 he received his doctorate with a dissertation on crop rotation and crop rotation systems in Lower Saxony . Andreae was a research assistant at the Institute for Farm Management. He completed his habilitation in 1955 with the thesis The field grass economy in Western Europe. Location issues, forms, problems and development tendencies . In 1957 he became a lecturer in Göttingen.

In 1960 he took over as a full professor at the Institute for Farm Management at the Technical University of Berlin , where he taught until 1980. In his time he was the youngest university professor in Berlin and a few years later became dean. Andreae published 145 articles in the specialist press, 136 articles in scientific journals and compilations, and 33 specialist books, some of which have been translated into different languages.

According to him, his scientific reputation was largely based on his books Wirtschaftlehre des Arckerbau and his work on agricultural geography . The practical relevance of his knowledge was based essentially on the findings of his many study trips, which had taken him to twelve non-European countries, among others.

Andreae died on January 15, 1985 in Berlin as a result of a heart attack.
