Founding of the Society
Year
Authority / Notes
1769
According to Kreutz (1996), p.242, the origin of the Society was the Bienengesellschaft founded by the pharmacist Johann Riem of Lautern in 1769. According to Kreutz (1996), p.242, this Society was based at first in Kaiserslautern and then in Heidelberg.

According to Willer (1967), p.242, in 1769 Johann Riem, a pharmacist and customs collector of the Palatinate, with twelve other "patriotic" people from the Palatinate, laid the foundation in Kaiserslautern for the Physikalisch-ökonomische und Bienengesellschaft zu Lautern. This Society considered its most important function to be the improvement of bee cultivation. By the next year (1770) they had already broadened their scope to include agriculture more generally.

Willer (1967), p.243 indicates that the Society's activities included the construction of a bee-house, an "economical" garden, and a tree school, as well as the operation of a model farm, and the publishing of a journal. Willer (1967), pp.243-244 points out that in 1774, the Society was instrumental in the founding of an agricultural school, the Kameral Hohe Schule (which later became the Staatswirtschafts Hohe Schule), which was under the control of the Society.

Willer (1967), p.246 indicates that in 1784 both the School and the Society moved from Kaiserslautern to Heidelberg. The funding that had previously supported the Society and its establishments now went to the School. Willer (1967), p.246 goes on to say that after 1792, the Society seems to have been dissolved.
