The Schenklengsfelder Linde is said to be the oldest tree in Germany with its estimated 1,200 years. With its mighty crown and supported branches, the linden tree is an impressive sight. For many centuries it served as a court lime tree. Today you will find a shady place to linger under their foliage.

Schenklengsfeld was first mentioned around the year 800. The linden tree on the former market square, which is estimated to be over 1000 years old and is considered to be the oldest linden tree in Germany, probably dates back to this time. In the past, court was held under the linden tree, and it also served as a meeting place for dance and annual market events.

Even today, the lime blossom festival and the evening under the lime tree take place here every year, alternating in mid-June. It will come as no surprise to anyone that the municipal coat of arms of Schenklengsfeld bears a linden branch. The linden tree is the center and symbol of the community. Its age is estimated at around 1200 years. The circumference of the four parts of the trunk is around 18 metres, the outer ring of walls with its wooden supporting framework under the mighty crown has a circumference of 65 metres.
