    The Körner Oak in the Thuringian Forest, more precisely at the Spießberghaus near Friedrichroda, is a natural monument planted in 1863 on the 50th anniversary of Theodor Körner's death. Carl Theodor Körner (* September 23, 1791 in Dresden; † August 26, 1813 in the Rosenow Forest near Lützow) was a German poet and freedom fighter who fell in 1813 in the War of Liberation against Napoleon. The oak commemorates his final resting place, as he was buried under an oak tree after his death. Further information on Wikipedia (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodor_K%C3%B6rner)
