75 conferences on agricultural engineering - a great period of innovations: Highlights of a success story

Research output: Contribution to journalConference articlepeer-review

Abstract

The first periodic German conference on agricultural engineering took place 1934 in Berlin, directed by Prof. W. Kloth. Basic data of all 75 conferences are listed in two tables. The war forced an interruption with a renewal at FAL Braunschweig by Kloth 1951. VDI Branch of Agricultural Engineering became engaged from 1962 including MEG from 1983. In 1990, the 48. conference was organized in Berlin commonly with EurAgEng testing a new European format. A change of the location in the uneven years to Hannover (ahead of Agritechnica) and the merger with AgEng conferences in 2007 completed a remarkable success story.
