The Peace Oak in Bornhöved was only planted in 1895 to commemorate the war with France in 1870/71.

Peace oaks are oaks that were planted as memorial trees to commemorate a war won and the peace that followed. In Germany, these were mainly planted as a memorial to the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71.

The planting of peace oaks took place mainly in central squares or green spaces in the places concerned. In the late 19th century, many streets and restaurants were named after the tree that gave it its name, with names such as "Peace Oak",

"To the Peace Oak" or "at the Peace Oak".

Many of the Peace Oaks are no longer recognizable as monuments today, unless memorial stones or plaques mention their history.

Some of the Imperial Oaks also commemorate the war of 1870/71.

25 years after the Franco-German War, the Peace Oak was planted in Bornhöved in 1895.

Today she provides shade for a rest.

The Bornhöved History Trail, on which the Friedenseiche is located, is certainly also interesting.
