The 1.5 kilometer long avenue along the Annaberger Weg consists of over 100 fruit trees, planted in 2007. They complement the few remaining old trees from the 19th century. At that time, the fruit tree avenue was used for self-sufficiency with fruit and for research purposes at the former experimental farm of the University of Bonn.

I can't resist and have to quote the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 - 1979), who was known to a wide audience for his wit and "Another Poem", with a short four-line poem:
"Trees, trees, nothing but trees,
and in between - spaces.
But behind them, you won't believe it:
Another tree!"
(H.Erhardt)

"The first generation of fruit trees was planted almost 150 years ago, when the Annaberger Hof was an experimental farm for the Agricultural Academy. While elsewhere avenue trees were literally sacrificed to car traffic in rows, the fruit trees in the Annaberger Feld died quite unspectacularly - storms and old age took their toll. Elderberries, sloes and blackberries had long since grown in the ever-growing gaps. A useful replacement for some of the birds, small mammals and insects that live here, but not for all. So the wryneck, little owl and common redstart, those feathered residents that depend on loosely standing old trees with nesting holes, gradually disappeared. The people of Bonn also missed their old fruit tree avenue.

In 2007 the time had finally come: as part of the 100-avenue program of the For the benefit of the state government, employees of the Bonn Biological Station (biostation-bonn.de) planted a total of 110 new trees, assisted by the city forester. Unlike "normal" avenues, which consist of only one type of tree, ten different types were combined on the Annaberg. Among them is the sugary-sweet "Anna Späth" plum, which only ripens at the end of September, cider pears such as the frost-hardy "Madame Verté" or the Rhenish Bohnapfel, which is particularly suitable for heavy soils.

Originally, avenues (from the French verb "aller" = to walk) were wide walking paths. Garden architects laid them out as sightlines in parks or had them run straight from stately residences into the surrounding area. It was only later that their practical value was appreciated: avenues provided shade and protection from the wind or helped travelers to stay on track in snow, fog or darkness. Today, avenues have other functions in otherwise structurally poor landscapes: like green veins, they connect separate forest islands and are a habitat for many animals. Their leaves produce oxygen and bind dust, CO2 and exhaust gases. Numerous avenues fell victim to road construction in the past, but there are still around 2000 of them in North Rhine-Westphalia. They consist of linden trees, oaks, ash trees, horse chestnuts, plane trees, maples or fruit trees and often shape the landscape."
