Eberhard Ramm studied at the Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen . In 1882 he became a member of the Corps Rhenania Tübingen . In 1885 he completed his doctorate with a doctorate in political science and economics (Dr. rer. Pol.). From 1884 to 1889 he worked as an estate manager in West Prussia and Württemberg , then from 1890 to 1900 as a professor at the Agricultural Academy Poppelsdorf (today part of the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn ). During this time he became honorary AH of the later Corps Agraria Bonn. In 1901 he moved to the Prussian Ministry of Agriculture. In addition, from 1901 to 1919 he was part-time administrator and landlord of the Dahlem domain in Berlin . In 1905 he was appointed to the Secret Government Council , and in 1908 to the Secret Upper Government Council. From 1919 to 1927 he was first under and later state secretary in the Prussian Ministry of Agriculture. Eberhard Ramm died in Berlin in 1935 at the age of 74 and was buried in the Dahlem cemetery. The grave has not been preserved. Her marriage to Mathilde Dieckerhoff in 1894 had remained childless.

Services

Eberhard Ramm was the driving force behind the plans to industrially remove the last remnants of the raised bog in the Prussian province of East Frisia . In contrast to the fen areas, which were created almost without exception with hoes and spades and through human muscle power, heavy machines were used. Right from the start, this included new technical achievements such as locomobiles , which had sufficient stability even on the boggy ground, and bucket chain excavators and other excavators. Ramm convinced the industrialist Carl Friedrich von Siemens of the project to clear the area and build a peat power station. After test drilling, a location in today's city center of Wiesmoor , on the then inadequately developed sandy path from Strackholt to Wiesede, was selected as the location . For economic reasons, pure peat mining and burning elsewhere were out of the question.

Honors
