She is the Methuselah of trees. In Germany in particular, the linden tree can look back on a long history in terms of cultural history. It is known as the tree of lovers, the tree of the people, the tree of Christians or the tree of dragons.

People have always valued it as a medicinal or useful plant - so it is hardly surprising that the tree was given a special status in the settlements. In the past, Tanzlinden were used as places of jurisdiction and also as meeting places. The villagers even ascribed a mythological meaning to the old trees, because the goddess Freya is said to live in them.

A feature of the village - and has been there for centuries - is the dancing linden tree. It is at least 500 years old. The square is to be beautified as part of the village renewal project, so that it will still be an eye-catcher for visitors to the village in 500 years.
