      The thousand-year-old oak tree stands at a central location in Dötlingen and often serves as a meeting place for events. In 2000 a branch of the tree broke off. Draped onto boulders by an artist, it now has its place next to the old tree.

        The village oak is located in the center of Dötlingen. It is only a trunk fragment about 4 meters high. The trunk has a circumference of 6.70m and is almost completely hollow.

        Originally, the magnificent oak was 15 meters high and had a crown circumference of 14 meters. In 1980, she lost most of her crown in a storm caused by lightning. In the summer of 2002 a large branch broke off. She has only a single branch left with a few twigs. But: she is alive. Unfortunately, her condition is not the best.
