The Chamber of Agriculture Schleswig-Holstein is a corporation under public law with its registered office in Rendsburg . Chambers of Agriculture are advisory institutions and representations of interests for entrepreneurs and employees in the so-called green professions , which include farmers , gardeners , animal farmers , foresters and other professions.

history

After the sharp increase in the number of agricultural associations being established in Prussia in the course of the 19th century, an Agriculture Chamber Act came into force on June 30, 1894. On August 3, 1895, the Prussian government issued an ordinance on the establishment of a chamber of agriculture in the province of Schleswig-Holstein on the basis of the Chamber Act . The Chamber of Agriculture for the Province of Schleswig-Holstein - its full name at the time - was constituted on March 20, 1896 at its first general meeting in Kiel .

As the successor to the Agricultural General Association founded in 1834, the Chamber was supposed to safeguard the interests of agriculture and forestry , provide expert advice to administrative authorities, promote technical progress and take part in the administration of product exchanges and cattle markets . As a professional self-governing body , the Chamber of Agriculture took over its assets, staff and facilities from the General Association .

The twenty district assemblies of the province delegated a total of 80 members to a general assembly. This body elected the honorary board, consisting of the chamber president and seven other board members. The full-time administration consisted of the chamber director and his employees. The first chamber president was from 1896 to 1914 the general landscape director Christian Graf zu Rantzau (1858-1939). After the end of the First World War and during the Weimar Republic , the electoral process was democratized: the farmers directly elected the members of the general assembly.

Between 1926 and 1927, a separate administration building was built near the Thaulow Museum in Kiel based on a design by the architect Johann Theede . In 1929 the chamber was responsible for organizing the Great Agricultural Provincial Exhibition (GROLA) in Hamburg . Both activities led to a burden on the budget and conflicts with those farmers who were close to the NSDAP . After the takeover of power , the Chamber of Agriculture lost its independence in autumn 1933 when it was incorporated into the Reichsnährstand .

After the end of the Second World War in May 1945, the State Chamber of Farmers was not founded until 1947. In 1953 the Chamber of Agriculture was re-established with a five-year general meeting.
