Thünen-Institut

The Johann Heinrich von Thünen Institute was built on 1 January 2008. It is one of four federal research institutes which emerged in the course of the restructuring of the former BMELV research area in accordance with the "Concept for Sustainable Ressort Research in the Business Area of ​​the BMELV". The Thünen Institute has emerged from three federal research institutes that were founded after the Second World War, but some have even older roots: the Federal Research Center for Fisheries (BFAFi), the Federal Research Institute of Forestry and Timber Industry (BFH) and large parts of the Federal Research Institute for Agriculture (FAL). Thus, the Thünen Institute can look back on more than 60 years of research history.
