The NEW Dendrometer III
Dendrometer III
Available from the end of January 2025!
Due to the continuing high demand for our dendrometer and to maintain the long tradition of this simple but useful device, which has been manufactured at our department for more than 40 years and distributed worldwide, we have decided to develop a new edition of the dendrometer. With the Göttinger Werkstätten and the Unishop of the University of Göttingen, we have found two strong partners who will support us in the production and marketing of the new and improved Dendrometer III in the future. This means that in future there will once again be a “Göttingen bottle opener”, which has always been an indispensable little helper for every forester, scientist and student.
Further announcements and information about the new version III of the Dendrometer and ordering options via the Unishop will follow shortly!

KRAMER's Dendrometer II
After more than 40 years, we discontinued production of the known pocket dendrometer II designed by Prof. Kramer at our institute some decades ago and will not produce this version II of the instrument any longer.
Originally, Kramer's idea was to develop a low-cost alternative for angle count sampling as introduced by Walter Bitterlich (instead of the very expensive mirror relascope) and to offer this device for scientific purposes and for students. His pocket dendrometer is ingenious and simple and has spread worldwide over the past decades.
he first designs for the dendrometer date back to 1975 and were revised in 1982 and 84. It has been produced in unchanged form since then. Over more than 40 years we have sold more than 50,000 dendrometers to students and sent them to almost all parts of the world. The "Göttingen bottle opener" is known and used worldwide. Every single one of these dendrometers has been manufactured with great care in several steps and by hand.
If you are the proud owner of such an original dendrometer, cherish it!
