Hiking
In 1932, the tree was scheduled to be felled; the neighboring farmer complained about the sprawling tree, whose shade would impair crop growth. The owner refused.
In 1952 and 1953, a total of seven large branches were sawn off by unknown persons. Under District Administrator Heinz Schulze, the Bismarck oak was declared a nature reserve in October 1953.
