Peace Oak Döbern

Highlight • Natural Monument

Where is the war memorial, complete with its ornate iron fence, at the old oak tree? This question remains unanswered. This impressive pedunculate oak tree with a crown diameter of 30 meters. Once planted as a peace oak to commemorate Sedan Day, it is now one of Döbern's landmarks.

The UNESCO Global Geopark Muskau Arch in the east of Lower Lusatia surprises with a very varied culture and natural landscape. 400 lakes guarantee an unmistakable character. Part of this goes back to the mining of lignite, clays and glass sands, which began 170 years ago and which took place close to the surface due to the special geological conditions. On the old mining tour near the glassmaking town of Döbern, cyclists not only come across impressive evidence of coal extraction and processing. The remaining mining holes have long since developed into idyllic biotopes in the midst of a typical heather and forest landscape. The route leads through nature and landscape protection areas with numerous information boards that explain the geological features. Lovers of literature are likely to be particularly interested in the "Laden" in Bohsdorf, which plays the title role in Erwin Strittmatter's trilogy of novels.

In the middle of the village square stands an almost dead summer linden tree, which immediately catches the eye because of its peculiar growth. It is the approximately 500-year-old pillory tree, a landmark of the town. The oldest natural monument in the municipality should be preserved for quite a long time because it conveys a good bit of local history. In past centuries, the old tree served as a court linden tree. For this purpose it was surrounded by several court stones, narrow benches made of granite. The judges sat on these in front of the assembled community when they negotiated over people who had become entangled in guilt. Unfortunately, only one of these benches remains. It is located at the park entrance on a cement pedestal. According to a patent issued by Ferdinand II of Biberstein in 1667, “blasphemers, swearers and cursers…” were chained to the court lime tree three Sundays in a row with a collar and thus pilloried in front of all churchgoers. Until the turn of the century (19th/20th century) the remains of the neck iron with which the criminals were connected could still be seen on the pillory. Source:

Numerous exhibits, historical photos and documents give those interested in local history an insight into the former village life and work and into the development of the community in terms of settlement geography.

The former manor park was laid out centuries ago by the former Groß Kölzig manor family "von Berge". Noteworthy are the old stock of trees (black alder, red oak, elm, beech, conifers), two English oaks on the park meadow that have been designated as natural monuments, and several springs. The landscape in the immediate vicinity of the park is also characterized by the "Ochsenteich", an approximately 0.25 hectare body of water with considerable riparian vegetation. In the park there is a burial site of the former landowners, which has now fallen into disrepair.

Döbern Cemetery

Highlight • Historical Site

Our cemetery is not just a place of final rest. It is a lively meeting place, a well-kept park area and it is also a refuge for around 40 breeding bird species - carefully observed by a hobby ornithologist. Cemeteries do not charge an entrance fee for a Sunday walk in the well-tended green, they tell the history of the city, are a playground for dedicated allotment gardeners, reflect trends for new floral arrangements and arrangements and often provide ideas for the next planting in your own garden. Not far from the mourning hall is the grave of Germanus Theiss and his family:
