The tree is also called Mackensen oak. After the man who made Worpswede an artists' village.

After four hundred years of growth, the trunk is hollow and can no longer hold the crown of the tree. The storm Xavier in 2017 broke the crown of the oak.

Today, the viewer has the opportunity to observe the passing of the tree and the new becoming, in his environment.

...unfortunately, all you can see now is the decay of the oak tree - but it still looks very impressive.
