The Permanent Forest Contract (in German Dauerwaldvertrag, also Dauerwaldkaufvertrag or Jahrhundertvertrag) refers to an agreement from 27th March 1915 for the communal Association of Greater Berlin to buy areas of forest from Prussia. The modern city of Berlin developed out of the association five years later and became its legal successor in the contract. The contract created the conditions for „Berlin to be provided with – compared to other major cities – uniquely extensive areas of forest.“
