    National Heritage Tree

    St. Gangolf Richteiche

    This pedunculate oak (Quercus robur) was declared a national heritage tree of Germany on April 9, 2022 by the responsible board of trustees. This is intended to honor the national importance of this tree and to ensure that it will continue to live as a natural monument for centuries to come and be protected, cared for and respected for it. Please do not step under the tree here to protect the roots and as branches can fall off!
