    The mightiest silver fir (Albis alba) in the area stood here. It was felled on September 4, 1868 after an arson attack. The tree was around 450 to 500 years old. Its height was 66 cubits = 37.38 m. The circumference measured at chest height 12 cubits = 6.80 m. This corresponds to a diameter of 2.16 m. The giant fir in the Berthelsdorfer Wald had an impressive volume of 55.45 solid meters. To commemorate this imposing tree, an 8 year old silver fir was planted here in 2001. (Copy from the plaque)
