Arbeitsgemeinschaft Deutscher Waldbesitzerverbände, Forest owners federation headquarters in Berlin-Mitte, Germany
The Arbeitsgemeinschaft Deutscher Waldbesitzerverbände is the umbrella federation for private and municipal forest operations headquartered at Claire-Waldoff-Strasse 7. From here it coordinates advocacy and support for forest owners across Germany, handling matters related to woodland management and forestry regulations.
The organization was founded in 1948 in the post-war period to represent forest owners' interests during Germany's reconstruction. Since then it has grown to become a major advocate for forestry operations, coordinating their concerns at national and international levels.
Two million German forest owners manage 7.6 million hectares of woodland, following traditions of sustainable forestry practices through this organization.
Visitors can contact the Berlin-Mitte headquarters by phone or mail for information on forest management and forestry policy. The office serves as a contact point for professional inquiries and provides guidance to forest owners, though it operates primarily as an administrative center.
The federation coordinates with 13 regional member associations and indirectly manages forest holdings from multiple states across Germany. This makes it one of Europe's largest coordination centers for private sector forestry operations.
