Digitalisierte Quellen zur Entstehung des deutschen Naturschutzes (Naturschutzgeschichte, Teil 2) | Haferklees Ausblicke

From Google Translate: "Even in this post is about the research on the origin of nature conservation in Germany, whose results I 2015 in the series of 'BfN Scripts' of the Federal Office for Nature Conservation my colleague Rainer Koch and published.

The publication consists of a text part and a source part. I wrote about the text in the previous post (nature conservation history, part 1).

The quantitative focus of the subsequent source part make facsimiles of all natural related writings Philipp Leopold Martins (1815-1885). These publications, which until then have only been difficult to grasp, are reprinted for the first time since their publication in the 19th century and are gathered in one place. In addition to the print version, we also have an online version of Open Access publishing (Warning File size: 86 MB). Thus the Martins digitized by us are unrestrictedly available to the interested public as well as to nature conservation research.

In addition to the publications of Philip Leopold Martin there are two texts of Ernst Rudorff (1840-1916), which has long been regarded as the earliest representatives of nature conservation in Germany. His programmatic work, 'On the Relation of Modern Life to Nature,' from 1880, was well-known and readily available. The other text was different. Rudorff had already sketched his thoughts on the destruction of nature in a detailed reader's letter to a newspaper in 1878. This text, however, had been lost for about a hundred years. Also in the works for 2006, published historical-critical edition of his autobiography, it was not possible to identify the original. We did it in 2015. We report on this in a chapter of our book, and we have reprinted the original text and made it available again."
