Permission to collect gathering and reading wood, Halle Forestry Office 1948

It is about standing or lying wood , which on the stick is no more than 16 centimeters in diameter. It also includes branches, bark, cut waste, loose sticks, shavings and roots. According to Prussian land law, this only included the waste on dry branches and the overburden left behind in the fields . The collection of reading wood for private use is free, unless otherwise regulated in the relevant state or municipal forest law.

For example, the Forest Act for the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania says at the appropriate point:

“Wood may be collected in the state forest for personal use if it is fallen, dry or rotten wood with a diameter of less than 10 cm, as long as proper forest management is not endangered. The removal of reading wood from private or corporate forests requires the permission of the forest owner. "

- Section 31 (4) of the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Forest Act

Restrictions

The regulations may prohibit reading in certain areas (e.g. fenced stands) or at certain times (e.g. before the timber harvesting work is completed) or there are restrictions on the means of transport (e.g. only handcarts).

Switzerland

Similar regulations also apply to Switzerland. In the implementation provisions of the Cantonal Forest Act (ABzKWaG) (normal forest regulations) of November 7, 1995, Section IV, Article 18, read wood is defined in more detail as "standing, dry or lying wood with a diameter of less than 16 cm at chest height, as well as branches, bark, cut waste and loose Stocks. ”Here, too, the collective authorization depends on the approval of the regional forest office.
