history
The agricultural research facility was founded as an institute for agricultural work science and agricultural engineering in the Kaiser Wilhelm Society in 1940 in Breslau . In 1945 the company was relocated to Imbshausen near Göttingen and in 1948 it was taken over by the Max Planck Society .
It was moved to Bad Kreuznach in 1950 , renamed the Max Planck Institute for Agricultural Work and Technology in 1956 and the institute closed in 1976 when Gerhardt Preuschen retired.
The institute has contributed to the mechanization of European agriculture through numerous scientific studies. The publications on agricultural work and agricultural technology can be found in dissertations and earlier publications in specialist journals.
