The scene of the events and developments that are the focus of this volume is Hann. Munden. There, a Prussian Forestry Academy was founded in 1868, from the 1939 Forestry Department of the University of Göttingen emerged. Shortly after the end of the First World War, Nazi-minded students sparked a pogrom mood against the Jewish professor of mycology, Richard Falck, and the institute he led. The present investigation documents the racist attacks that Falck and his associates have been subjected to in Münden since 1920. She describes how the Prussian state government responded to the events, what positions the professors were referring to, and how the faculty approached these events after the end of the Second World War. As a framework, the university policy 'constitutional struggles' in Münden at the beginning of the 1920s and the constant concern for the preservation of the forestry college in the view taken. In addition, the question is asked what role the Forestry College or the later Forest Faculty of the University of Göttingen played in the "Third Reich" and what subsequently characterized the "denazification".
