The Femeiche (formerly called Rabenseiche, Ravenseiche or Erler Eiche) in Erle in the North Rhine-Westphalian district of Borken is one of the oldest oaks in Germany with an age between 600 and 850 [1] years. The pedunculate oak (Quercus robur) stands near the parish church. There is evidence that femeris courts were held under the oak until the 16th century. It is considered to be the oldest and best known court tree in Central Europe. [2] For over 100 years, the oak, marked by lightning strikes, storms, human influences and its great age, has been registered as a natural monument. [3] The trunk has been hollow for about 250 years [4] and consists only of sapwood. The trunk shell, which is held together by rods, encloses a cavity with a diameter of almost three meters.
