2008:
Effective from january 2008
Prof. Dr. Reiner Brunsch is appointed Scientific Director of the ATB.
2007:
Based on 2006's evaluation by external experts the senate of Leibniz
Association recommends continuation of institutional funding for another
seven years.
2007:
In march, another innovative project is put into operation: the
pilot plant for processing wet conserved natural fibres.
2006:
After a construction period of twelve months the start-up of the pilot plant for producing
lactic acid from starchy agricultural biomass is celebrated.
2004:
With beginning of the year, research at the ATB is organised in a new
structure.
In December 2004, Prof. Dr.-Ing.
Jürgen Zaske, the long-year Scientific Director retires.
Prof. Dr. agr. habil. Reiner Brunsch is assigned with duties and
responsibilities.
2002:
The Institute for Agricultural Engineering Bornim e.V. celebrates its 10th
anniversary since foundation. In order to underline its membership within
the
Leibniz Association, the institute is renamed to Leibniz-Institute for
Agricultural Engineering Potsdam-Bornim e.V.
2000:
The former manor garden as well as the Bornim Fields are reconstructed and
recultivated according to the original design by Lenné and Persius. A
total of 25 buildings with approx. 43000 m³ are removed, an area of 18000 m²
is unsealed, 2500 t contaminated soil are replaced. For the reconstruction
of avenues and gardens 1200 m paths and sideways are newly layed out, 4
ha landscape is modelled and 483 trees are newly planted (incl. 368 fruit
trees).
1993:
Prof. Dr. Zaske is appointed new Scientific Director.
1992:
The Institute for Agricultural Engineering Bornim e.V. (ATB) is founded.
It consists of the departments (1) Bioengineering (2) Technology
Assessment and Substance Cycles (until 1995 in two departments) , (3) Post
Harvest Technology, (4) Engineering for Crop Production, (5) Engineering
for Livestock Management,
(6) Horticultural Engineering and the Central Service department. Dr. G.
Welschof is appointed the first leading Scientific Director. ATB becomes a
member institute of the Blue List, the later Wissenschaftsgemeinschaft Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz
(WGL), today Leibniz Association.
1991:
The reorganisation of the east German research structures leads to
dissolving the existing research institutions in Bornim. Based on the
results of the evaluation by the German Research Council
"Wissenschaftsrat" recommendation is
given for the refoundation of a smaller but independent research institute
for agricultural engineering.
