Life

Robert Bernhard was born on May 30, 1862 in Tharandt as the son of the pharmacist Julius Bernhard (1824–1876) and Camilla Clara (1826–1914) born Moser. He studied forest science at the Tharandt Forestry School and became a member of the Corps Saxonia (1882) and Hercynia (1932). Subsequently, from 1889 to 1899, he first managed the private areas of Lieberose , then from 1902 the forests of the Muskau domain . In 1904, Bernhard took over the state district of Hundshübel in the Ore Mountains as chief forester .

After the First World War , Robert Bernhard came to the head of the Saxon state forest administration as a lecturer technical council and country forest master, which he successfully reorganized. In order to remedy the consequences of a one-sided net profit economy, he planned to use the unpopular but necessary variants of lowering the rate and increasing the cost of culture. With the resulting replenishment of supplies, Bernhard restored the productivity of the Saxon state forest. The deflation crisis brought him into confrontation with the government, which in 1924 "dismantled" him .

Immediately afterwards, Robert Bernhard followed a call to Tharandt professor of silviculture and forest management and in 1926 such in Turkey as a forestry consultant build the local forestry , which he devoted himself with interruptions until 1937th His work culminated in many proposals for ordinances and laws in the Turkish Forest Act , which was adopted in 1937.

Robert Bernhard, father of one son, married Georgina Amy (1867–1936), the daughter of John Walker, in Stirling in 1892 . He died two months before his 81st year in Klotzsche near Dresden.
