Cute fountain on the market square by the church.

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.

Beautiful sea of blossoms from April to early May.

The spring Adonis are a steppe plant that came to Brandenburg after the last ice age. In Germany they can only be found in a few isolated locations. https://naturerbe.nabu.de/naturparadiese/brandenburg/oderhaenge/index.html

The 190-hectare Oder slopes in Mallnow have been under nature protection since 1921 to protect the spring Adonis and are looked after by the NABU Foundation https://naturerbe.nabu.de/naturparadiese/brandenburg/oderhaenge/index.html

Even before World War II there was a market fountain in Seelow on the market square. Like 40% of the city, this fountain fell victim to the fighting in the Battle of the Seelow Heights in April 1945. It would be decades before the city got a fountain back at the old location. It was only in 1988 that Horst Engelhardt built the "Schäferbrunnen". So why a Schäferbrunnen? In the past there were numerous sheep farms around Seelow. Sheep and sheep products were also traded in the marketplace on market days. And so, on a pillar above a small plinth, stands the roughly life-size bronze sculpture of a naked shepherd, who has a sheep wrapped around his shoulders like a shawl. Only the artist probably knows why the shepherd is now naked. In the lower part of the sandstone pillar is the water dispenser in the form of a simple pipe that lets a trickle of water flow into the basin in front of the pillar. The drain from the pool is formed by a thin pipe on which a fat satyr is lounging. Behind the fountain, a steel structure symbolizes the hilly landscape of the Seelow Heights. Conclusion: Beautiful fountain, but unfortunately the city is a bit stingy with water, so that the fountain rarely bubbles.

Very nice view of nature. A great place for a little break.
