    the old forest ranger's office in Neubruchhausen

    It is one of the most beautiful buildings in Neubruchhausen and is a central place in village life: the old forest ranger's office. It was built in 1786 and has been refurbished several times since then, most recently in 1990. As a kind of village community center, the Alte Oberförsterei, located in a beautiful green park, is available to the associations in the village as a meeting place.

    The place where it stands is steeped in history. Counts, servants, farmers and pastors met here as early as the Middle Ages. Neubruchhausen once had a well-fortified moated castle, and the administration building - the so-called Vorwerk - stood where the chief forester is now. It was built on the foundations of the Vorwerk for more than 230 years.

    The first head forester who lived here and looked after the forests around Neubruchhausen was Alfred Wackerhagen. In the French period from 1805 he also had to take on other tasks, namely to find the farm boys from the village who had fled into the woods and who were to be forcibly recruited by the French for the Russian campaign. If they were found, they first had to stew in the vaulted cellar of the head forester's office.

    The most important and best-known forester, who lived and worked in the Alte Oberförsterei for almost 50 years from 1892, was Friedrich Erdmann. Today he is considered an important forester because he relied on naturally grown mixed forests instead of susceptible monocultures. It was new back then - today it is proving to be correct because these mixed forests are much more resilient to climate change. Friedrich Erdmann was buried nearby in the middle of his forest.
