As a result, regular study trips took him to Russia , Finland , Poland , Northern Germany and the Giant Mountains .

Hemberg married his first cousin Agnes Mathilda (1856-1902), daughter of consul John Robert Lundgren , on October 10, 1880 . After the death of his first wife, he was married to Elma Hemberg for the second time. The sons Robert, Jarl and Arnulf came from the first marriage. The daughter Edit came from the second marriage. Eugen Hemberg died in the spring of 1946 four months after completing his 100th year in Växjö.

Professional background

After his first professional assignments in Arljeplog and Kalix , it was used in forestry in Russia and Poland between 1874 and 1878. After subsequent study trips, Eugen Hemberg held forester positions in Västergötland , Halland and Kristianstads län on his return to Sweden . After another foreign engagement in Russia in 1898 and 1899, he was promoted to Statens skogsingenjör in Kronobergs län in 1899, and since 1904 with the rank of Länsjägmästare, equivalent to the highest forester. In 1920 he celebrated his retirement.
