Oak was planted on his own initiative by the so-called “canal rebel” Robert Horch a few years before his death. Despite all the individual criticism, Robert has made outstanding contributions to Nanzenbach and his concerns. At first the oak didn't want to grow properly and showed signs of dying. People even suspected an outrage against Robert Horch. But that wasn't the case. Today it is a beautiful attraction and invites you to take photos.👍❤️
