Botanical Society of Berlin and Brandenburg, Founded 1859 E.V Botanical Society of Berlin and Brandenburg, founded 1859 e.V. Club history With reasonable pride, the Botanical Association of Berlin and Brandenburg is celebrating its founding year in its name. It was founded in 1859 in Eberswalde as the Botanical Association for the Province of Brandenburg and the neighbouring states - thus it celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2009. It is therefore one of the oldest scientific associations in Germany. Capacities from Research and teaching have always been closely linked to him over the years. Paul Ascherson was one of its founders and most active supporters. His most famous work, the "Flora of the Province of Brandenburg, the Altmark and the Duchy of Magdeburg", Berlin 1864, is still of great importance to Berlin and Brandenburg local florists. Therefore, the association has had it reprinted, a reprint is available from us. With the "Negotiations of the Botanical Association of Berlin and Brandenburg", the association has made an important contribution to botanical research and documentation since its foundation. In cooperation with the nature conservation authorities, the observations are largely incorporated into the official "Red Lists". Projects The association offers the opportunity to participate in various projects, such as the floristic mapping of Berlin or Brandenburg. In this area there is close contact with nature conservation and environmental authorities because the relevant records are largely included in the official "Red Lists" and thus also contribute to the maintenance or creation of protected areas.

  • The Huguenot Diaspora in Prussia
    Ifo Institute Immigration and the Diffusion of Technology: The Huguenot Diaspora in Prussia Erik Hornung Ifo Working Paper No. 114 November 2011 An electronic version of the paper may be downloaded from the Ifo website www.cesifo-group.de. Ifo Working Paper No. 114 Immigration and the Diffusion of Technology: The Huguenot Diaspora in Prussia* Abstract This paper analyzes long-term effects of skilled-worker immigration on productivity for the Huguenots migration to Prussia. We combine Huguenot immigration lists from 1700 with Prussian firm-level data on the value of inputs and outputs in 1802 in a unique data base. In 1685, religious persecution drove highly skilled Huguenots out of France into backward Brandenburg-Prussia where they were channeled into towns to compensate population losses due to plagues during the Thirty Years’ War. Exploiting this settlement pattern in an instrumental-variable approach, we still find causal effects of Huguenot settlement on the productivity of textile manufactories hundred years after their immigration.

UMI 300 North Zeeb Road Ann Arbor, MI 48103 COPYRIGHT BY TERRY DALE THOMPSON 1996 ABSTRACT God's Special Way examines the relationship between Halle Pietism and the Hohenzollern monarchy in order to discern the nature and effect on Brandenburg-Prussia of that alliance. Halle Pietism was a reform movement within the Lutheran church in 17th and 18th century Germany that believed the establishment church had become too concerned with correct theology, thus they aimed at a revival of intense Biblicism, personal spirituality, and social reform. The Pietists, led by August Hermann Francke (1662-1727) , and King Friedrich Wilhelm I (rl7l3-l740) were partners in an attempt to create a Godly realm in economically strapped and politically divided Brandenburg-Prussia. In large measure the partnership produced Pietist control of Brandenburg- Prussia'a pulpits and schoolrooms, despite the opposition of another informal alliance, this between the landed nobility and the establishment Lutheran church, who hoped to maintain their own authority in the religious and political spheres.
