History (Germany)

Since the end of the 1950s, when the worst devastation of the Second World War and the post-war period in the historic gardens had been eliminated, the demands for restorative measures and concepts for long-term, forward-looking maintenance planning have increased. The most important publications of this time include those by Ernst Jobst (1960) and those of the Bavarian State Garden Director at the time, Christian Bauer , who presented the "park maintenance work" as an indispensable instrument for the continuous care and "management" of historical facilities (1960, 1961, 1972). The instrument of park maintenance work was supported by farmer from the tool of forest management work transferred to the park entertainment and development. With the Charter of Florence 1981 the working method proposed by Bauer was further developed.
