Heinrich Wilhelm Döbel
Heinrich Wilhelm Döbel (* 1699 ; † June 14, 1759 in Schmerkendorf ) was a German hunter and forester and author of hunting and forest science publications.
Life
The only (unreliable) source for Döbel's life story is a descendant's report. After learning to hunt in the guilds from his grandfather and father, Döbel was made defensive as a hunter in Harzgerode in 1717. Then he went on a journey for three years to perfect his hunting skills. From 1720 to 1727 he worked as a hunter in Güntersberge , Blankenburg and Dessau . From 1723 to 1725 he was a hunter's boy with Duke Ludwig-Rudolph von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel . As a result of intrigues, he left the service and in the following years managed the lands of his wife Henriette Agnes Trümpler, man. Plank († 1746). In 1733 he moved to Electoral Saxony in order to find a job in Hubertusburg with the newly established Parforce hunt . He spent the last eleven years of his life in the service of Baron Peter von Hohenthal (1726–1794) in Schmerkendorf .
The autodidact Döbel was one of the most prominent representatives of wood-friendly hunting, on the basis of which the rebuilding of forestry began in the second half of the 18th century. His writings and essays are the precipitate of rich hunting and forestry experiences ( empiricism ). Sensitivity and self-righteousness, however, involved him in many literary arguments.
