Wilhelm Leopold Arrow Prize

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Wilhelm-Leopold-Pfeil Prize , also known as the Pfeil Prize for short , was awarded from 1963 to 2006 to personalities from science or practice who have rendered exemplary forest management in Europe for the future. In addition to the economic aspects, the award should also take into account the requirements that are to be made of the forest with regard to the general culture of living and in social, hygienic and aesthetic terms. The award made available by the Alfred Toepfer Foundation FVS Hamburg is named after the forest classic Friedrich Wilhelm Leopold Pfeil (1783-1859), one of the founders of forest science , in memory of his work .

The Wilhelm-Leopold-Pfeil Prize , endowed with DM 30,000 or EUR 15,000 , was awarded annually until 1993 by the Faculty of Forestry (formerly the Forestry Department) of the Albrecht Ludwig University of Freiburg im Breisgau . Since 1994 it has been awarded by the foundation at the Eberswalde University of Applied Sciences - the long-standing workplace of the forest scientist Pfeil - and since 2000 every two years.

In addition to the actual Pfeil Prize , three European study trip grants each of 2000 euros each were awarded to forest students and young foresters in training so that they could deepen their knowledge in another European country.

In the course of realigning its awarding of prizes, however, the Alfred Toepfer Foundation FVS decided to stop awarding the renowned Wilhelm Leopold Pfeil Prize in 2006. The first two winners were Victor Dieterich (1963) and Gustav Adolf Krauss (1964), who received the award together at the start of the Forestry University Week in Freiburg im Breisgau on October 26, 1964. The last award of the award was on June 19, 2006 in the auditorium of the Eberswalde University of Applied Sciences to György Csóka and the chief forestry director Karl Friedrich Sinner .
