Hegemeister Hermann Klöckner (1827-1907) The Grand Ducal Hegemeister and hunter Hermann Klöckner (July 29, 1827-23 June 1907) was a forester who worked for a long time in the Hohenzieritzer "Cabinetsforst" from 1879 to 1906. The term "Cabinetsforst" was the expression for the personal property of the respective ruling princes, here: the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. Klöckner came to Hohenzieritz as a forester and previously worked in the Schönhorn, Babke and Wilhelminenhof foresters. From 1893 onwards, when he was old, his son Otto was assigned to him to manage the cabinet forest. The then Grand Duke Adolf Friedrich V of Mecklenburg-Strelitz granted his wish to be buried in the rosewood in the middle of the beautiful beech forest. Numerous foresters and hunters from Mecklenburg-Strelitz followed him on his last walk from his forestry to his resting place. The forester Franz Sonnenberg reports on the funeral: “We young hunters took our hunting horns with us to give the old, popular Hegemeister the last hunt and Halali as thanks for his exemplary attitude as forester and hunter in the eternal hunting grounds. But we were amazed when a rider on horseback in hunting uniform joined us. It was Grand Duke Adolf Friedrich V, whom we so highly admire, who paid his last respects to his faithful dead servant. With a warm heart and deepest awe and thanks, we understood the respect we had received.
