The incense oak stands south of Friedrichsaue next to an old arm of the Oder, facing a field. The old arm, called incense, was separated from the Oder in 1786. About ten years ago, the old Oder arm was renaturalized and now carries water again. The oak stands on the edge of a small forest called Sanssouci, a scenic gem that was given forest protection status in 1959/60. Near the oak is a dam built in 1920 by the Oderbruchbahn. The railway line has since been abandoned, and a cycle path now runs over it. The oak is still unknown in literature; it is a new discovery. The trunk shows rot on one side, the bark is partially missing but is still completely closed. A fairly large crown sits on the trunk, which is still completely intact. It shows very little dead wood, although the oak has been struck by lightning several times, most recently in 2012. The vitality of the monumental oak is still good.
