Main building of the LGRB

The State Office for Geology, Raw Materials and Mining (LGRB) is the central geoscientific and mining authority ( mining authority ) of the state of Baden-Württemberg .

In 1832, as part of a reorganization of forestry in the Grand Duchy of Baden , the Baden ministerial official and administrative lawyer Wilhelm Ludwig Dietz was appointed director of the newly created state authority United Forests and Mines , which covered the numerous mines in the Black Forest and Odenwald as well as the Baden Forestry Directorate , which in this step too was overseen by an intermediate authority. His successor after his death in 1837 was the ministerial official Gustav Adolph von Rutschmann . In 1888 Harry Rosenbusch was appointed director of the Grand Ducal Baden Geological State Institute. He appointed Adolf Sauer (1852–1932) and Ferdinand Schalch as the first regional geologist . Carl Schnarrenberger and Walter Hasemann were directors until the Second World War .

The LGRB was formed in July 1998 by amalgamating the regional geological authorities (GLA) with the regional mining authority (LBA). Since the administrative reform in Baden-Württemberg came into force on January 1, 2005, the LGRB has been a department in the Freiburg Regional Council . As Department 9, it has a special position and is responsible for the administrative districts of Karlsruhe , Stuttgart and Tübingen in addition to the administrative district of Freiburg .

The State Office collects, documents, processes and evaluates data on the geological subsurface of Baden-Württemberg, including groundwater and mineral raw materials . The information is made available to the state, science, business and citizens.

The office has its seat in Freiburg im Breisgau in three buildings. In addition to the main building, other areas are housed in a building erected in 1896 as a team building for the Hereditary Grand Duke Friedrich Barracks , which was rebuilt and renovated between March 2008 and February 2010.
