Historically, guild trees served as meeting places for craftsmen, where they gathered to exchange news, take on apprentices or make joint decisions. The guild tree in Flintbek continues this tradition and is a place of exchange and community for local craftsmen. The Flintbek local craft school attaches great importance to the care and preservation of this symbol, as it embodies the values of craftsmanship - such as permanence, growth and roots. The guild tree thus stands not only for the past, but also for the vibrant present and future of craftsmanship in the region.
