Forest identification
A forest settlement is a compensation for the withdrawal of rights of use to land that was owned by a municipality, community or other private person. Often it was forests , peat bogs and pastures . The beneficiaries were able to take timber and firewood , litter and peat and use the land as pasture.
After the French Revolution they wanted to free these plots of land from the feudal usages in the interests of rational agriculture and forestry . For this purpose, the rights of the authorized users had to be settled. The German states , starting with the Stein-Hardenberg legislation in Prussia, issued regulations, the so-called common division laws , according to which compensation could be made in the form of a cash payment or in the country. Mostly it was forest uses. One often finds the term "forest management", but also forest management, forest detachment or land compensation . In some cases this term has been applied to the property in question, for example in measurement table sheets or in reports on land sales by municipalities.
The problem of replacing the so-called forest servants has occupied many foresters for decades, among them Georg Ludwig Hartig and Wilhelm Pfeil .
