페르벨린‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪17‬개의 천연기념물

The Wichmann Linden tree in Neuruppin is a living natural monument – a tree that breathes history and enriches the city with its serene presence. This impressive winter linden stands near the city wall by the Neuruppin Monastery Church and is one of the oldest trees in the region. With an estimated age of over 700 years, it is not only a botanical highlight but also a symbol of both continuity and change. The tree is hollow after being struck by lightning, but this does not diminish its majestic appearance – on the contrary: it acts as a venerable guardian of the city's history. https://www.baumkunde.de/baumregister/3327-wichmannlinde_in_neuruppin/

Theodor-Fontane-Denkmal

Fontane inspired me to travel through the Mark. And, of course, to hike too!

It's said that Sunday children can see Wichmann at a certain time on New Year's Eve. Unfortunately, I'm a Tuesday child.

The winter linden tree / Wichmann linden tree stands close to a slope on the city wall near the Neuruppin monastery church. The tree is over 700 years old and has since become hollow after being struck by lightning, but still blooms every year.

This beautiful fountain sculpture with a beautiful quote by Theodor Fontane is located at the wellness hotel "Resort Mark Brandenburg" at Seepromenade 20.

The mantle of the hollow trunk is broken in two places, so that the crown appears to rest on three pillars. Named after the legendary founder of the monastery, Father Wichmann. Before his death in 1270, Father Wichmann is said to have decided that he should be laid in a glass coffin and that this should be placed in a silver one. Furthermore, according to the old Germanic custom, a linden tree should be planted on his grave and when the linden tree had died, his grave could be opened, but not before.

Theodor Fontane travelled through what was then known as the "Mark" throughout his life. He published his travel reports continuously. The first volume appeared in 1862 under the title Wanderings through the Mark Brandenburg (later The County of Ruppin). From 1863 onwards, this was followed by The Oderland, Barnim-Lebus, 1872 Havelland and 1881 Spreeland. All of them were published regularly in various newspapers and in several editions as book editions until 1892, each one newly edited, supplemented and corrected.
