The Luther oak was planted on October 31, 1817 to mark the 300th anniversary of the posting of Martin Luther's 95 theses on the Castle Church in Wittenberg: the plateau with the oak became a popular destination for spa guests; people met here and enjoyed the magnificent view of Homburg. These long-distance views were possible because large areas of the Taunus slopes near settlements were not forested in the 19th century, a result of centuries of overexploitation of the forests. The Luther oak is now protected as a natural monument because of its cultural and historical significance.

On the occasion of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation in 2017, the Shaping Future Foundation had the Ev. Memorial parish of Bad Homburg v.d. place a memorial stone.
