Gravestone Wilhelm Reuter

Wilhelm Reuter (born May 10, 1836 in the forester's house Garbe (Altmark) , † November 24, 1913 in Berlin ) was a German forester .

Live and act

Reuter, son of von Jagow's forest manager Friedrich Reuter , studied forest science in Eberswalde and passed the forest state examination in 1864. In 1870 he became the royal chief forester in Siehdichum . Around 1900 he brought cuttings of red oak , Douglas fir , red beech and black walnut from a trip to North America and planted them in the vicinity of the forester's house in the previously monotonous pine forest. Reuter was an active member of the Märkischer Forstverein. The second and third revised and enlarged editions of his father's book about “The culture of oak and willow in connection with field crops”, published in 1860, were reissued. Reuter made a particular contribution to fish farming in the numerous waters in his field of activity.

On his retirement after almost 50 years of service, Reuter, now the Royal Forestry Master, was awarded the Third Class Red Eagle with a ribbon. He was also awarded the Third Class Order of the Crown .

Forester cemetery Siehdichum

Wilhelm Reuter had a burial site built near the Siehdichum forester's house in 1891 after the death of his first wife Marie. His daughter Hedwig Eyber, wife of Forestry Councilor Karl Eyber, was also buried here in 1902, Wilhelm Reuter himself in 1913 and his second wife Emilie a year later. The four graves are the first of the forester's cemetery in Siehdichum, which was later expanded to become a burial place for all deceased employees of the chief forester's office.
