On the north side of the roundabout stands the Luther Oak. In 1520, Luther is said to have burned the church laws and the papal bull "Exsurge Domine" (Arise, Lord), which threatened him with excommunication.
Luther responded to the bull with the text "On the Freedom of a Christian".
The first Luther Oak was felled in 1813 and replaced by the current one in 1830.
