Abstract
[eng] Abstract Since the foundation of the GDR in 1949, the diverse pollution were studied. The scientists hoped that a socialist country until the mid -70s will not perpetrate the same errors as the «capitalists». In first times, they worked in a dispersed order, until 1956. After they began to organise and saw that air pollution was more a regional as a local problem. Between 1962 and 1974, the foresters try to discuss with the complex (combinat) and took legal action as expert beside the victims (foresters, farmers, and horticulturists) against the combinat but without a real success. At the beginning of the 70s, it was clear that the solution couldn't come from the industry but only from the forestry. The foresters had to adapt the trees to the air pollution.

Les scientifiques espèrent jusqu'au milieu des années 70 qu'un pays socialiste ne commettrait pas les mêmes erreurs qu'une économie capitaliste. Dans un premier temps, ils travaillèrent en ordre dispersé, jusqu'en 1956. Puis ils essayèrent de s'organiser et constatèrent que la pollution était davantage un problème régional que local. Entre 1962 et 1974, les forestiers tentèrent de négocier avec les combinats et prirent part à des actions judiciaires en tant qu'experts du côté des victimes (forestiers, agriculteurs et horticulteurs) mais sans succès. Au début des années 70, il était clair que la solution ne pouvait venir de l'industrie mais seulement de la foresterie. Les forestiers devaient adapter les arbres à la pollution de l'air.
