Unfortunately, all that remains today is the rotten stump!
The Schinderhannes oak was over 300 years old when it fell over from old age on April 13, 1975.
It was under its mighty crown that Schinderhannes probably wrote the famous blackmail letter to Fuchsmüller in 1801.

The Schinderhannes oak was over 300 years old when it overturned on April 13, 1975 due to old age. It was initially called Börner-Eiche because it was on the way to Born (Schloßborn). It was only after 1800 that it was given the name Schinderhannes-Eiche, because under its mighty crown the Schinderhannes wrote the extortion letter to the Fuchsmüller in 1801.
