The Hammundeseiche is a natural monument located about three kilometers northeast of Friedewald in the Hersfeld-Rotenburg district in the Seulingswald in Hesse and about 650 meters south of the Friedewald to Hönebach road, at the junction of Nadelöhr.

The oak tree stands in the middle of the former village of Hammundeseiche at 435 meters above sea level. The oak tree represents the former center of the village of Hammundeseiche, which has been considered abandoned since 1312. Right next to the oak tree are the reconstructed village fountain and a small pond.

It was not until 1969 that the remains of the forgotten place were rediscovered, uncovered and reconstructed.

Fallen into ruin at the beginning of the 14th century, the foundations of the church, as well as the village well and pond, still bear witness to the Hammundeseiche settlement. A stately oak tree stands in the supposed village center.
