Landesanstalt für Umwelt Baden-Württemberg
institution of the German state of Baden-Württemberg
The Baden-Württemberg State Institute for the Environment (German: LUBW Landesanstalt für Umwelt Baden-Württemberg), until December 1, 2017 Landesanstalt für Umwelt, Messungen und Naturschutz Baden-Württemberg (LUBW), is a central institution of the German federated state of Baden-Württemberg, whose legal responsibilities lie in the fields of environmental conservation, health and safety and consumer protection and thus they support the state authorities at a technical level in nature conservation and radiation protection.
The head office of the LUBW is in Karlsruhe; in 2015 it had 550 employees and an annual budget of €65 million.

Why this record matters
The phrase “institution of the German state of Baden-Württemberg” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Contemporary correspondence, administrative files and participant testimony can test how later narratives organized the event or institution. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1802082. VIAF identifies the subject as 127736847. Authority coordinates are 49.001, 8.368. 4 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2017 and 2015.
Official terminology may obscure informal participation, dissent or communities documented only indirectly. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
