      A tree that must be preserved.

        The Korbinian linden tree was an important tree in Freising that was closely linked to the veneration of Saint Korbinian. Legend has it that Saint Korbinian, the first bishop of Freising, planted a linden tree at this spot. Over the centuries, this tree became a symbol of the city and the saint.

        The linden tree stood near today's Korbinian fountain on Weihenstephan Hill. In 1720, the Korbinian Chapel, also dedicated to the saint, was built over the spring. The chapel was designed by the Asam brothers and was considered an architectural jewel. Unfortunately, it was largely demolished during secularization in 1803; only a few remains of the walls remained.

        Today, the ruins of the Korbinian Chapel and the Korbinian fountain remind us of the historical significance of this place. The area can be reached via walking paths on the Weihenstephan slope, and a staircase leads from the Hofgarten down to the Korbinian fountain. Visitors can view the remains of the chapel and experience the spring attributed to the saint.

        The Korbinian linden tree itself no longer exists, but its history lives on in the stories and veneration of Saint Korbinian in Freising. The place remains an important testimony to the religious and cultural history of the city.
