Hunting science

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The hunting science or hunting customer 's teaching and the science of hunting , as well as based on both natural to humanistic principles. These are on the one hand the biology and ecology of game , on the other hand legal studies, history, cultural and social sciences as far as they relate to hunting and hunters .

history

The word hunting science can be found for the first time in Flemming in 1719. The discipline understood by this was initially developed by the cameraists , among whom Stisser and Gottfried von Moser were of particular importance. But since the eighties and nineties of the 18th century it has been closely related to the rapidly developing forest science .

The coupling of both disciplines led to the neglect of hunting science research and teaching at all forestry schools in the course of the 19th century. This process is followed in connection with the life's work of Bechstein , GL Hartig , Pfeil (Eberswalde) and Cotta (Tharandt). In the 1880s, as the integration of hunting science into forest science led to a complete standstill, a new development outside of institutional teaching and research institutes began.

Several focal points of the topic alternate: towards the end of the 19th century first problems of cynology , around the turn of the century questions of ballistics , then wild diseases and in the 1920s legal considerations that preceded the Reichsjagdgesetz of 1934. In 1907, Rörig called in vain for the establishment of a Reich Institute for Hunting Studies , in 1911 the publisher Julius Neumann founded the private Institute for Hunting Studies ; the carrier becomes the Gesellschaft für Jagdkunde . Ulrich Scherping campaigned for an independent hunting science as early as the Weimar Republic , but only succeeded in the new Reich hunting law after 1933, in the context of the conformity with the protegé of Hermann Göring . The associated tasks are divided between the German Wildlife Research Center in Werbelinsee- Schorfheide , the Institute for Hunting Studies in Berlin-Wannsee , which is also responsible for the magazine for Hunting Studies, and the Institute for Hunting Studies, which has been linked to a chair since 1939 Georg-August University in Göttingen belonging to the forestry university in Hann. Münden .

today

Today there are chairs for hunting science and other institutes for hunting science at several universities:

  • Lecturer in game ecology and hunting management at the TU Dresden under the direction of Sven Herzog
  • Institute for Wildlife Biology and Hunting and the Nature Conservation Union of the University of Göttingen under the direction of Antal Festetics
  • Institute for Wildlife Research at the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover
  • Working group for wildlife biology and wildlife management at the chair of animal nutrition at the University of Munich
  • Research Center for Hunting and Game Damage Prevention of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia in Bonn
  • Society for Wildlife and Hunting Research eV in Burghausen / Halle-Wittenberg
  • Forest Zoological Institute of the University of Freiburg / Br. - Department of wildlife ecology and hunting management

The institutes are united in the working group for wild biology and hunting research facilities . There are other research centers in Baden-Württemberg , at the Justus Liebig University in Gießen , in Bamberg and Kiel . In Germany, hunting science is funded by the Stifterverband für Jagdwissenschaft eV A loose association of hunting scientists forms the International Ring of Hunting Scientists, later known as the International Union of Game Biologists .
