Life

After attending school in Lauenburg , Martin Heling studied agriculture at the University of Halle and the University of Munich .

From 1934 to 1937 he was head of the Rastenburg state stud and from 1938 until his escape from East Prussia he was head of the state stud in Georgenburg .

After brief stops in Bad Harzburg and Hamburg , he came to the Lower Saxony Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forests in Hanover, where he became a consultant for animal breeding.
