Barbarossa-Linde, Historical linden tree in Lorch, Germany
The Barbarossa-Linde stood as a large linden tree measuring between 20 and 40 meters in height, belonging to the species Tilia cordata.
Named after Frederick Barbarossa, this linden tree served as a traditional gathering place for judicial proceedings and community assemblies until its fall in 1955.
The tree represented Germanic traditions where linden trees functioned as central meeting points for village decisions and celebrations under open skies.
Located at coordinates 48°47'58.6"N, 9°42'17.3"E, the site marked an important reference point for the local community of Lorch until a storm destroyed it.
The wood of this small-leaved lime tree possessed characteristics that made it particularly suitable for creating detailed religious carvings and altarpieces.
