Georg Quaet-Faslem (Forester)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georg Franz Johann Otto Rudolf Quaet-Faslem (born February 23, 1845 in Nienburg , † June 19, 1919 in Mengershausen ) was a German forester, state forest adviser and secret councilor . He makes a contribution to the restoration of natural mixed forest stands instead of the coniferous wood and heather areas in the province of Hanover .

Life

Georg Quaet-Faslem was one of seven children of the magistrate Friedrich Emanuel Quaet-Faslem (1813-1883), the son of the builder Emanuel Bruno Quaet-Faslem . The mother Christiane Pauli was a merchant's daughter and came from Osnabrück . On the grandmother's side, Georg Quaet-Faslem was the great-grandson of the poet Jean Paul Richter .

He was a member of the provincial directorate of the Province of Hanover. As a state forest council, he was the creator of the Hanoverian provincial forest and promoter of the heath reforestation . He brought information about it in numerous associations and publications. The use of the same age pine and spruce mixed stand in large-scale heather reforestation is one of Quaet-Faslem's merits and is decisive for the Lower Saxony lowlands. By 1909, with his help, 20,000 hectares of wasteland around Hanover had already been reforested.

Quaet-Faslem also had a significant influence on the location and design of today's listed public park in Bremerhaven . The area proposed by Johann Ganten and his father-in-law Conrad Allermann for a recreational forest behind the Bremerhaven cemetery in Wulsdorf seemed too small to him. He was also instrumental in the negotiations with affected farmers in Munster for the acquisition of land for a maneuvering area (today Munster military training area ).

Membership in the Hils - Solling Forest Association is known. In 1885 the Northwest German Forest Association ( Lower Saxony , Bremen , Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein ) took over the tradition of the numerous local forest associations. Quaet-Faslem was a co-founder, secretary and chairman of the association. He was also a member of the Forestry Council, which was founded in 1890 as a political committee of the German Forest Association .

When the forestry department was set up at the Hanover Chamber of Agriculture on June 1, 1902 , he was elected the first head of the institution which he built up and shaped until the end of the First World War .

He was married twice. On May 25, 1871, he married Karoline Sophie Marie Quensell (1847–1872). Their son Georg emerged from the marriage. After the death of his first wife, he married Therese Quensell (1850-1919) on January 8, 1874. From this marriage, among other things, the future Admiral Hans Quaet-Faslem emerged. His nephew was Friedrich Erdmann .

Georg Quaet-Faslem died in June 1919 in the provincial sanatorium for the mentally ill "Rasemühle" , which was headed by his son of the same name at the time.
