Over 150 years old sequoia, which plays a prominent role in the thriller "Murder Black Forest".

Baiersbronn - Tree of Peace (Sequoia) was felled:

After the top of the old sequoia broke off during a severe storm in 2005, the gradual decay began. The injury allowed pests and various rotting fungi to get inside the tree and slowly destroyed it.

In order to do justice to the special role of the tree, the felled tree should remain on site. Visitors should be able to experience the entire life cycle of the tree. Deadwood is an important habitat for insects as well as birds, fungi, lichens and mosses. Deadwood also has a direct effect on the microclimate in the immediate area, creating new life. The sequoias came to the country through the nature-loving King Wilhelm I of Württemberg, the statement continues. The trees were trained and planted across the country from 1870. The Baiersbronn Peace Tree was planted in 1871.

The people of Baiersbronn will not have to do without a sequoia on the Hirschkopf in the future either. Only a few meters away, a new sequoia is already growing, which has already reached a considerable size.
