Life

Origin and education

Born on July 2, 1915 in Neuwied as the son of the Princely Wied'schen Domain Director Friedrich Wilhelm Hachenberg , he later called himself only Friedrich Hachenberg to prevent confusion with his father of the same name. This belonged to the Rhineland-Palatinate state parliament from 1951 to 1960 . The son continued his father's agricultural and forestry policy later. One of the formative forces of his homeland in the Westerwald was his roots in the evangelical faith and the person and work of Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen . In 1934 he passed his Abitur and then completed a year and a half of labor and military service. Hachenberg began his forestry training with an apprenticeship at the Entenpfuhl Forestry Office in the Soonwald . He then studied forest sciences at the Hannoversch Münden Forestry University with semesters at the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg and the Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich . Shortly after the start of the Second World War , he completed his studies in Hann. Münden with the diploma examination and was drafted into the armed forces immediately afterwards . Until the end of the war he was used as an infantry officer on the western, eastern and southern fronts. As early as autumn 1946, Hachenberg returned home from prisoner-of-war captivity and completed his legal clerkship as a forest assessor , which he completed in 1946 with the Great State Examination in Sarstedt .

Forest office manager in the Hunsrück

Initially active in private forest management, Friedrich Hachenberg was taken on as a teacher at the Hachenburg Forest School in the Westerwald in 1948 and thus in the state service. Appointed forester in 1950, the state forest administration made him head of the Kastellaun forestry office in Hunsrück in 1951 . At the time, the 7,000 hectare forestry department managed the forests of 44 municipalities and four cooperatives. Friedrich Hachenberg headed it for 18 years, most recently in the rank of chief forest master. Initially, the focus of his work was mainly on reforestation of war bald areas, later it was forest development . The paths through forest and field that were created in the course of land consolidation with their progressive construction made Kastellaun a well-known excursion destination .

Forest public relations

Friedrich Hachenburg gained notoriety far beyond his close circle of forest colleagues through his extensive public relations work , in which he made a broad audience aware of the general importance of the forest for the national welfare through numerous publications, lectures and radio broadcasts. For a good four decades he was involved in the German Forest Protection Association , of which he was also the managing (deputy) president for many years. He also headed the “ Land Care ” working group. He also founded conferences at the Protestant Academy Arnoldshain on the subject of "Land maintenance and forestry" .

In the ministry in Mainz

When, in autumn 1969, the head of the “Forest Policy” department in the Forestry Department of the Rhineland-Palatinate Ministry of Agriculture, Viticulture and Forestry was to be filled, the choice fell on Hachenberg, who was already known and recognized for his commitment to forest policy. In the ministry, he not only continued his skilful public relations work, but was also instrumental in bringing about various laws. He worked on the amendment to the Rhineland-Palatinate State Forest Act of 1971 and its implementing provisions . Together with Walter Bogner, he published a legal commentary on it in 1973 , which was valid for almost 20 years. Hachenberg also worked on the State Maintenance Act of 1973 and the Federal Forest Act of 1975. He also achieved that the subsidies for corporate and private forests were expanded. In 1969 Friedrich Hachenberg was appointed forest master , and in 1971 chief forest master. As a senior ministerial advisor, he was also deputy head of the Rhineland-Palatinate state forest administration.

Retired forest history work

In 1980 Hachenberg retired, but remained active. In the same year he was with the forestry and administrative historical dissertation Sovereign effects on the management of community forests in the area of today's state of Rhineland-Palatinate at the August University Georg Göttingen for Doctor of Forestry (forest Dr.) PhD . In the following years, he followed up on this overall view with further extensive historical representations with regional reference, such as a history of the Kastellaun Forestry Office (1988) and the accompanying text to the 1992 special exhibition 2000 Years of Forest Management on the Middle Rhine , jointly designed by the Koblenz State Museum and the Koblenz Forest Directorate on the occasion the 11th KWF conference in Koblenz. His last major work, a representation of the history of the city forest of Kastellaun, he could no longer complete himself. It was published posthumously in 1998 under the title Wald um Kastellaun. A contribution to the history of the urban forest . In the year he died in 1992, however, an updated commentary on the Rhineland-Palatinate State Forest Act was published together with Franz-Josef Gehendges. Senior Ministerial Councilor a. D. Dr. forest. Friedrich Hachenberg, who had not let his courage to live even by serious illnesses and several operations, died on September 14, 1992 at the age of 77.
