The Betteleiche (Begging Oak) is a pedunculate oak and a habitat for various bird, bat, and insect species. With a circumference of 5.30 meters and a diameter at breast height of 1.69 meters, it is the largest oak in the Ludwigsburg district. Its age is estimated at just over 200 years. It has been designated a natural monument since 1988. The name "Betteleiche" (Begging Oak) derives from the traveling people who often camped at this corner of the forest because they were denied access to neighboring Heimerdingen.

Next to the Betteleiche are also historic district boundary stones, the engravings of which are now barely legible.

The bed oak is about 200 years old and has 5.30 trunk circumference. It is the most powerful oak in the district and owes its name to the beggars who camped there. Heimerdingen was formerly independent and surrounded by a wall that was to keep the lower class, and which was allowed to be passed only with permission. The oak is a pedunculate oak (petiolate acorns and short stalked leaves).
