    The so-called "1,000-year-old oak on Kirchberg" is an imposing natural monument and cultural landmark of the city. It stands centrally behind St. Lamberti Church and is easily accessible. Despite its name, its actual age is estimated at around 350 years.

    It is a pedunculate oak (Quercus robur) with a breast height of 7.50 meters and a height of around 25 meters. Its crown diameter of 28 meters is particularly impressive. The trunk grows straight up for about six meters before the crown divides into two large main branches.
