Royal Prussian Forest Academy Hannoversch Münden
The Royal Prussian Forest Academy Hannoversch Münden was a university for forest sciences founded in 1868 , which was located in Hannoversch Münden until 1970 . Münden existed.
history
The history of the Royal Prussian Forest Academy Hannoversch Münden in Hannoversch Münden goes back to the separation of the forest school from the mountain school in Clausthal in 1844 and the relocation of the forest school to Hannoversch Münden. However, in 1849 the Münden Forestry School had to close due to a lack of students.
On April 27, 1868, the Royal Prussian Forest Academy in Hannoversch Münden was opened in the presence of the Prussian forest master . The establishment of a second forest academy had become necessary due to the large area growth in Prussia after the German War of 1866 . It went back, among other things, at the instigation of Heinrich Christian Burckhardt .
In 1922, it was decided to transform it into a forestry university with a rectorate constitution, the right to award doctorates, and the right to habilitation and appointment, and it was proclaimed on May 3, 1923. On May 6, 1939, the university was affiliated to the Georg-August University in Göttingen as the forestry faculty and relocated to Göttingen for the 1970/71 winter semester . Five new faculty buildings were previously erected here (Büsgenweg 1–5). Today the former forest academy as the faculty for forest sciences and forest ecology of the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen is divided into two institutes, seven research centers and the forest botanical garden .
Forest botanical garden
The Forest Botanical Garden on the grounds of the Forest Academy in Hannoversch Münden was opened in 1870. It consisted of a small garden as an arboretum and a large garden on about 5 hectares. Forestry experiments were initially carried out in the large garden and fruit trees were grown, later it also became an arboretum. In 1895 the garden had 210 types of oak, 881 types of rose, 312 types of honeysuckle and 574 types of willow. During the Second World War , Allied bombing raids on the nearby freight station caused serious damage to the Forest Botanical Garden. In the course of time, the garden was reduced to 2.5 hectares, partly through road construction. After the forestry university left for Göttingen in 1970 and the faculty building built in 1872 was demolished in 1974, the forest botanical garden remained as the last remnant of the forestry tradition in Hannoversch Münden . In 1988 it was placed under protection as a natural monument .
