The Kötzen Oak stands on the Würzburg (formerly Heidingsfeld) city limits and also served to mark the boundary. Distinctive trees were often used as boundary markers in earlier times because, unlike boundary stones, they were immovable.
The name Kötzen Oak comes from the Kötze, which is colloquially a type of backpack and served as a means of transport for the rural population on their way to the city, especially to the market.
