August Ganghofer (1827–1900) was a significant German forestry official and the father of the writer Ludwig Ganghofer. From 1879, he managed the Royal Bavarian Forestry Administration and initiated the founding of the Bavarian State Institute for Forestry and Forest Management (LWF) in Freising in 1881. Career: From 1859 to 1873, he managed the forestry district in Welden, where he had the August Ganghofer Avenue, named after him today, planted. He was elevated to the personal nobility in 1887. Works: His standard work "Der praktische Holzrechner" (The Practical Wood Calculator) was published in 1872 and went through seven editions. Memorial Site: In Welden stands the August-Ganghofer-Hütte, the former forester's official hut, which is now part of the Ludwig-Ganghofer-Rundwanderweg (Ludwig Ganghofer Circular Hiking Trail).

The quaint building is the old service cabin of August Ganghofer, the father of the writer Ludwig Ganghofer. It represents the family's forestry background and the forest that strongly influenced Ludwig's childhood. August Ganghofer was not only the district forester in Welden, but later pursued a career as a forestry expert.

The pranks of little Ludwig Ganghofer can be experienced on the so-called "Ludwig Ganghofer Lausbubenweg" since 2015. Five adventure stations lead families and anyone interested to chapters based on Ganghofer's childhood and youth novel "CV of an Optimist". Source: www.augsburg-tourismus.de
