Eiche von Berteroda, Millennium oak tree in Berteroda, Eisenach, Germany
The ancient oak tree reaches a height of 16 meters with a trunk circumference that expanded from 8.5 meters in 1917 to 10.22 meters in 2019.
In 1912, workers filled the tree's hollow spaces with stones and cast mortar, resulting in vertical cracks that affected its structural integrity over time.
A plaque near the tree commemorates its thousand-year presence in the village, symbolizing loyalty through times of joy and sorrow for Berteroda residents.
The tree stands on a fenced meadow next to a pond, with protective barriers installed to prevent foot traffic damage to its root system.
Local records from 1900 mention that village men set up a table inside the tree's hollow trunk for playing card games.
