The giant oak in the Sauerbusch in the Dresden Heath near Langebrück is a designated natural monument (ND 72).
The pedunculate oak is about 22 meters high, the chest circumference at a height of 1.30 meters is about 6.60 meters (measurement 2016). The main trunk of the tree broke off at a height of about 15 meters, the crown is formed by individual branches.
