Bergen-Hohne Training Area
On 13 January 1872, west of Becklingen in the forest known as "Becklinger Holz", which is nowadays within the Bergen-Hohne Training Area, the last wolf seen on the Lüneburg Heath in over a century was shot. The man who shot it was a forester, Grünewald, who was the "Leibjäger" to King George V of Hanover, the last king of Hanover. Since 2012, wolves have returned to the Heath having migrated from Eastern Europe.
