Several of its publications are standard works of the hunt literature. Admits was also "the Bibliotheca Tiliana gathered by it ", one of approximately 12,000 volumes comprehensive technical library from hunt and forest books.

Life and working

Kurt Lindner came 1906 as a son of the entrepreneur Kurt Lindner (10. March 1877 - 6 April 1966) in the Thuringian special living to the world. There its father led the porcelain factory for electrical accessories (today ELSO). In its hometown Lindner visited the human High School. Already since this time it was as the oldest one of its brothers and sisters for the firm follow-up auserkoren, which it also began later. In order to prepare for this task, it took up a study of the political economy. During its academic years in Munich, Frankfurt/Main, London and Berlin he was written in addition, in the subjects philosophy and history. Beyond that it trained itself further in lectures of the forest and hunt sciences, among them with professor Max Endres in Munich.

Because the hunt was the largest passion Kurt Lindners - it called it once its true "loving ". Already as a small child it had accompanied its father with the hunt and loves this manipulation learned. Its scientific occupation with the hunt began, when it was allowed to examine the hunt documents of the small duo December principality black castle special living as seventeen-year old. The result was the 1924 published work of contributions for the hunt history of black castle special living.

After its study Lindner attained a doctorate 1929 at the age of scarcely 23 years with the investigation the credit on real property supply of the middle and small industry after the currency renewal at the University of Jena summa cum laude to the Dr. rer. pole. Afterwards it occurred the paternal enterprise, which went down however after end of the Second World War: At the 11. March 1946 was dismantled the entire enterprise by Soviet crew power and spent in more than 90 railway trucks with machine tools into the east. In the year 1948 then the expropriation of the work of its father including its whole private possession followed. The family Lindner pulled without means after Eggolsheim with Bamberg, where since 1938 a branch existed. Son Kurt Lindner developed together with his brother an electrotechnical factory now there. This flourished soon, so that a branch work in Greece could be established. Admit were among other things the 1955 of William car field for Lindner sketched "car field lights ". As successful entrepreneurs Kurt Lindner was appointed into numerous restaurant committees. Like that it was member of the board of the central association of the German electrical industry and had for many years a seat in the supervisory board the Hanover fair AG, was also deputy supervisory board chairmen.

Its income made it for Lindner possible to gather over the years an extensive private library which it called "Bibliotheca Tiliana ". It contained approximately 12,000 books and handwriting at the end from several centuries, which stood all with the hunt in connection, and was thereby one of the world-wide most extensive libraries to this group of topics. With the book collecting Lindner had already begun during its study time, in which some thousands volumes had already met. A majority of this first library had been kidnapped however in postwar confusions to Russia. The later collection presented then 1977 with the exhibition to Lindner "Bibliotheca Tiliana - old persons of hunt books from all world "in the duke August library in also the public. Since after Lindners death was in the long term in the year 1987 after various efforts no institution, which wanted to purchase the extensive collection completely, she was finally auctioneered in the year 2003 publicly. Since that time a majority of the books is absent-minded into all hoist.

Kurt Lindner was not however only book lover, but used its collection for extensive hunt-historical studies. Its originally on six volumes history put on of the feasting work could carry out Lindner however only partially. It already published and let 1937 as volume I the hunt in the Vorzeit 1940 with the hunt in the early Middle Ages volume II follow. Both publications are standard works of the hunt literature. While volume I found good admission with and also into the French one translated, the meaning of the second volume was appropriate for the lighting of the term particularly in first clarifying of some legal connections, "forestis "as well as systematic founding of far parts of the hunt technology. For the publication as third volumes planned manuscript the history of the Falknerei arrived 1943 however because of the paper scarceness no longer into the pressure and became - just as the manuscripts for the volumes IV to VI, already existing in far parts - in confusions of the post-war period as well as the majority of the books kidnaps Lindners to Russia, where it is considered since that time as verschollen. Lindner undertook no more attempts in later years to continue its history of the feasting work in extensive general surveys.

Since 1954 its hunt-historical investigations in the row published by it appeared sources and studies for the history of the hunt . It was Lindner, which unaufgearbeitete with these volumes so far sources from the antique one, for which the Middle Ages made accessible and the first modern centuries of the science, in addition, an interested readership.
