Bundesforschungsanstalt für Forst- und Holzwirtschaft, Federal research center in Hamburg, Germany
The Federal Research Institute for Forestry and Wood Economics was a research center with multiple buildings in Hamburg's Lohbrügge district that focused on forest management and wood research. The facility conducted various research projects to develop knowledge about sustainable forestry practices.
The institute was founded in 1950 as the Central Institute for Forestry and Wood Economics and relocated from Reinbek Castle to Hamburg-Bergedorf between 1963 and 1976. In 2008 it was integrated into the Thünen Institute and continued its work under that organization.
The center maintained close ties with Hamburg University and provided insights into wood sciences through its research work. Visitors could learn about the importance of sustainable forestry practices for the region.
The research center was located at several sites in Hamburg and surrounding regions, which visitors should consider when planning. The facility was primarily dedicated to research, so a visit was more suited to academic or professional purposes.
The institute managed the Arboretum Lohbrügge, a specialized facility that served both scientific forest research and educational purposes. This arboretum was a rare place where research and botanical learning came together directly.
