Life

Wolfgang Schröder grew up on a farm in Styria . After training in agriculture and forestry in Austria, he studied wildlife biology and ecology in the USA . In 1971 he was employed by Fritz Nüßlein at the Institute for Hunting Studies of the Forestry Faculty of the Georg-August University in Göttingen in Hann. Münden with the dissertation on the ecology of chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra L.). Results of the study of a population in Hochschwab (Steiermark) for Doctor of Forest Sciences (Dr. forest.) PhD . At the institute he worked as a research assistant, initially in Hann. Münden and then briefly in Göttingen after the faculty moved.

Schröder soon moved to Bavaria , however , where he had been appointed head of the Institute for Game Research and Hunting at the Munich Forest Research Center. He set up a branch of the institute in Oberammergau . At the same time, he represented the Wildlife Biology and Hunting Lecturer at the Freising-Weihenstephan location of the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich (LMU) as a lecturer and university lecturer. In 1975 he completed his habilitation at the LMU with a thesis on population ecology and management of the red deer “Cervus elaphus L.”.

After the subsequent restructuring within the Munich universities, he became associate professor for wildlife biology and wildlife management at the Technical University of Munich (TUM).

As an experienced mountain hunter, Schröder is very interested in the high mountain environment . He did intensive research mainly on chamois. Together with Werner Knaus , he wrote the standard work Das Chamswild. Natural History, Behavior, Ecology, Hunting and Hunting, Diseases , which appeared for the first time in 1975, also attracted attention abroad through translations and had three editions by 1983.

In addition, he worked for many years in the publication of the journal for hunting science founded by his doctoral supervisor and wrote a number of articles for this and other specialist journals .

He is also involved in international nature conservation , was involved in a study on ecologically compatible ski tourism and works with students from all over the world on sustainability systems . In 1983 he was awarded the Philip Morris Research Prize for his biotope research .

Schröder was a co-initiator and participant in the founding meeting of the Bavarian Ecological Hunting Association (ÖJV Bayern) on Hubertus Day in 1988 and at times its member.
