Life

Hanke, whose father and grandfather were already foresters, studied forest sciences in Freiburg and Vienna, completed his legal clerkship in Trier, and did his doctorate on reforestation. His professional achievements as head of the forestry department included u. a. the early "introduction of burial forests" and the special "support for forest kindergartens", he brought "forest youth games on the way". In the poorly forested Rheinhessen, he campaigned for reforestation and taught ecological silviculture at the TH Bingen . Hanke publishes regularly on forest issues and regional topics. His most important journalistic works are his book on "Forest and Forest Stories from Rheinhessen" (2016) and a historical photo book on Waldalgesheim (2014 - together with Heinrich Sinz). Since his retirement in 2016, in addition to his journalistic activities, he has been involved in environmental and municipal projects, such as B. the planned renaturation of the Rhine-Hessian Haybach .
