Life

Friedrich Erdmann, son of a Lower Saxony Forstmann family, son of the forester in Leese in Nienburg August Erdmann (1815-1868) and the Adelaide (1839-1908), daughter of Meller lawyer Dr. Friedrich Quaet-Faslem, nephew of the State Forestry Council, creator of the Hanoverian provincial forest and promoter of the heather reforestation Georg Quaet-Faslem (1845–1919), studied at the forestry college of Hannoversch Münden with Bernard Borggreve . Sustainably influenced by this, Friedrich Erdmann was subsequently deployed to Hanoverian territories with brief interruptions during his professional career .

He was very familiar with the forestry conditions of the north-west German heathland through his own studies and above all through close cooperation with his uncle.In 1892, at his own request, he was given the management of the Neubruchhausen Forestry Office in the so-called Bremer Heide, a function that he did despite attractive offers held until his retirement in 1924. Friedrich Erdmann, who remained unmarried, died in 1943 at the age of 83 in Neubruchhausen.

Friedrich Erdmann emerged as a staunch advocate of a modern scientific silviculture based on the necessity of an emphatically natural forest treatment, which through his humus research created the prerequisites for the best possible yield in commercial forests. In recognition of his services to forest science, he was awarded an honorary doctorate from the Eberswalde Forestry University and an honorary citizen of the Hannoversch Münden Forestry University. In addition, the Neubruchhausen Forestry Office was renamed Erdmannshausen after him.
