The term ban comes from the Middle Ages. At that time, Bannwald stood for a forest area (Bannforst) in which the right of use (Forstbann) was reserved for the sovereign. Initially, this only applied to hunting (hunting ban) and fishing, and later also to other uses of the forest (wild ban forestry).
Today the term Bannwald generally means a piece of forest that is worth preserving as a whole - or a special form of it. In German-speaking countries, the term Bannwald generally refers to a forest stock or area. Depending on the applicable forest law, there are overlaps and differences between the terms protective forest, protective forest and recreational forest.
Protective forest to protect against avalanches, rock falls, mudslides or floods.
Forest reserve, protected forest areas for reasons of nature and environmental protection.
Recreational forest, sometimes also as a recreation area.
