Shortly afterwards, on October 12, 1701, he became a full member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences . In 1706 a street ( Behrenstraße ) in this quarter was named after him in recognition of his achievements. In the same year he took over the supervision of the expansion of the Grunewald hunting lodge .
