The Federal Research Center for Forestry and Wood Management (BFH) was a federal research institution based in Hamburg . Effective January 1, 2008, it was incorporated into the newly created Johann Heinrich von Thünen Institute (TI).
history
The forerunner of the Federal Institute was the institute for foreign and colonial forestry founded in 1930 in Tharandt near Dresden by the forest scientist Franz Heske . On the instructions of the Reich Forestry Master Hermann Göring , the institute was connected to the University of Hamburg in 1939 and relocated to Reinbek Castle there . In the 1950s - still under the direction of Heske - the transformation into the Federal Research Institute took place. Between 1963 and 1976 the institution gradually moved to new buildings in Hamburg-Lohbrügge . Only the Institute for Forest Genetics and Forest Plant Breeding in the Tannenhöft Arboretum remained in Großhansdorf .
With the restructuring of the research facilities in the new federal states in 1992, the institutes at the Eberswalde and Waldsieversdorf locations , which emerged from the forest plant breeding department at the former Kaiser Wilhelm Institute in Müncheberg, were taken over.
The close relationship with the University of Hamburg was regulated by a state treaty between the Federal Republic of Germany and the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg. In close personal connection with the university ( center wood industry ), the BFH performed extensive teaching activities for university studies in wood industry. The research institute also maintains the Lohbrügge Arboretum in Hamburg-Lohbrügge.
