After the Marienbrunnen the main street narrows. After a short descent you reach the large linden tree of the bastion of the lower gate. Quaint buildings line the edges of this uneven cobblestone alley.

The large linden tree was planted in 1713 and witnessed many historical events.

At the beginning of the 18th century, General Baron de Rechteren ordered the bourgeoisie (*ruling class) to plant numerous linden trees in the city and on the city walls.
