State Institute for Ecology, Land Management and Forests NRW
The State Institute for Ecology, Land Management and Forests NRW (LÖBF) was an institution of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia from 1994 to 2006 with its seat in Recklinghausen . Until December 31, 2000, she also took over the tasks of the State Office for Agricultural Regulation ( State Office for Ecology, Land Management and Forests / State Office for Agricultural Regulation , LÖBF / LAfAO). She was part of the portfolio of the Ministry of the Environment, Spatial Planning and Agriculture and later the Ministry of the Environment and Nature Conservation, Agriculture and Consumer Protection .
development
The State Institute for Ecology, Land Management and Forests / State Office for Agricultural Regulations North Rhine-Westphalia (LÖBF / LAfAO) was newly established on April 1, 1994 as the central facility for North Rhine-Westphalia in the field of "green environmental protection". She took over the previous tasks of the State Institute for Ecology, Landscape Development and Forest Planning (excluding land use protection and soil ecology), the State Institute for Forestry, the State Institute for Fisheries, the Research Center for Hunting and Game Damage Prevention and the State Office for Agricultural Regulations.
The State Institute for Ecology, Land Management and Forests was set up by the Ministry for the Environment, Spatial Planning and Agriculture as part of its business area in accordance with Section 14 of the State Organization Act and had mainly scientific tasks. For the State Office for Agricultural Regulations , she was the higher regional authority in the field of land consolidation management .
The tasks of the State Office for Agricultural Regulation were transferred to Department 9 - Upper Land Consolidation Authority - of the Münster District Government on January 1st, 2001 .
On January 1, 2007, the State Institute for Ecology, Land Management and Forests was dissolved. It was partly taken up by the State Office for Nature, Environment and Consumer Protection of North Rhine-Westphalia (LANUV), a higher state authority that is subordinate to the Ministry for the Environment and Nature Conservation, Agriculture and Consumer Protection of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia . Forest and wood operations in North Rhine-Westphalia took over the forestry and hunting tasks .
organization
In the State Institute for Ecology, Land Management and Forests, four institutions with mainly scientific tasks and an authority were organizationally combined. This should modernize the environmental administration and increase efficiency. It was divided into five departments:
- 1: Central services,
- 2: State Office for Agricultural Regulations,
- 3: Ecology, nature conservation and landscape management,
- 4: Forests, forest ecology,
- 5: fishing and hunting.
The seat was in Recklinghausen. There were also branches in Münster (State Office for Agricultural Regulations), Arnsberg (Forestry, Forest Ecology), Kirchhundem (Fishery Affairs) and Bonn (Research Center for Hunting and Game Damage Prevention). The authority was headed by a president. From 1994 to 2006 Rolf Kalkkuhl was President of the State Institute for Ecology, Land Management and Forests.
The State Office for Agricultural Regulation was subordinated to eight offices for agricultural regulation as lower state authorities.
tasks
The State Institute for Ecology, Land Management and Forests performed tasks according to the Landscape Act of North Rhine-Westphalia. This includes, for example, the participation as a carrier of public concerns in legal planning processes, the collection of basic data and the scientific investigation of ecological issues, the observation of changes in the flora and fauna as well as the preparation of expert reports.
As the State Office for Agricultural Regulation, it was the Upper Land Consolidation Authority within the meaning of the Land Consolidation Act. It was the superior authority for the offices for agricultural regulation. In addition to land management , village renewal and rural development were also part of the area of responsibility.
History of the Fisheries Departments
The beginnings of the Fisheries Departments of the State Institute of Ecology, land division and Forestry go back to the year 1914. John Neuhaus, a farmer of the farm Ahe in the then political community Kohlhagen in office Kirchhundem , received on 2 May 1914, the dike police authorization for creating a trout hatchery in Oberalbaum . Trout farms of this kind were necessary because the tenants of the fisheries on the streams and rivers were obliged to release fry every year due to the lease conditions. Therefore, in addition to the hatchery in Oberalbaum in the Kirchhundem office, similar facilities were built in the Gleietal and on the Lenne near Saalhausen , above Flape am Flapebach and on Dollenbruch between Brachthausen and Silberg .
Johannes Neuhaus originally planned to set up the trout breeding facility above Herrntrop in the Hundemaue . In this context, the Kirchhundem municipal council laid down the conditions for converting a footpath as a roadway at the meeting on March 3, 1913. The reasons why this system was not implemented are not documented. Perhaps it was cheaper for Johannes Neuhaus to buy land in Albaum.
The trout farm in Oberalbaum put Johannes Neuhaus on the farm run by Emil Heins sen. purchased property. In order to protect the ponds from the occasional flooding of the Albaumer Bach, the construction of a dike was necessary. On February 7, 1914, he received permission from the District President in Arnsberg to catch spawning trout in the fishing waters of the community of Wingeshausen in the Wittgenstein district during the winter quiet season on condition that they be used in the interests of fish farming.
In 1916 the Neuhaus trout breeding facility in Albaum was apparently already in operation, because the chairman of the Olpe District Fishery Association , Privy Councilor Freusberg , ordered that they should deliver the trout fry for the occupation of the entire Hundem area as far as Welschen Ennest. There were similar orders for the following years. In the famine years of World War I , the fishing industry made an important contribution to the food supply. A statement from 1927 shows that Johannes Neuhaus was still running the trout farm in Albaum.
The report of the Sauerland Volksblatt of July 27, 1931, according to which the trout breeding establishment in Albaum was sold by a Mr. Müller from Kirchhundem to the Prussian Ministry of Agriculture, Domains and Forests at the end of 1929 / beginning of 1930 , is probably based on an error. The plant was probably owned by Johannes Neuhaus until it was sold.
By contract dated September 15, 1930, the parish of Kirchhundem leased the fishing in the waters of the Ober- and Niederalbaum district to the teaching and research institute for trout farming in Albaum for an annual lease price of 250 marks.
With the acquisition of the trout farm and the leasing of the fishery, the ministry complied with the request of German trout breeders to create an educational trout farm that was supposed to test the experience gained in breeding in a scientifically critical way. After the expansion of the facilities, the inauguration of the first teaching and research institute for trout breeding in Prussia took place on July 25, 1931 in Albaum. Until 1938 it was administratively subordinate to the chief fish master at the responsible provincial government in Münster. Then it was attached to the Reichsanstalt für Fischerei , based in Berlin- Friedrichshagen. Between 1938 and 1941 the Institute for Fishery Wastewater Science in Münster was attached to it.
After the state of North Rhine-Westphalia was founded in 1946, the Albaumer Anstalt was subject to the technical and service supervision of the Minister for Food, Agriculture and Forests of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia; since 1947 it was known as the "State Agency for Fisheries North Rhine-Westphalia".
In the 1960s, the new administration and laboratory building of the state institute was planned, which was completed and moved into in 1972. Located directly on Heinsberger Straße, the building with its flat roof and exposed aggregate concrete facade has a defining character for this part of the Albaum village.
Since 1994, the State Agency for Fisheries in Albaum has been affiliated with the State Agency for Ecology, Land Management and Forests in North Rhine-Westphalia as a fishery department and since January 1, 2007 it has been part of Department 26 (Fisheries Ecology) of the State Office for Nature, Environment and Consumer Protection North Rhine-Westphalia (LANUV NRW) .
