The trunk circumference of the tree is 5m, which was named after the German army commander Helmuth von Moltke, Field Marshal in Prussia. The oak was planted in 1871 when the German Empire was founded.

The oak was planted in 1871. Two benches invite you to rest in the shade of the tree.

The old oak is worth seeing. Actually also a nice rest area if it weren't for the road.
