Fat Marie, Natural monument oak tree in Tegel, Germany
The Fat Marie oak stands near Tegel Castle with a trunk circumference of 6 meters and reaches a height of 20 meters.
The tree dates back to 1107 and received its name from Alexander and Wilhelm von Humboldt, who named it after the castle's corpulent cook.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe visited this oak tree in 1778, marking its significance as a gathering spot for German intellectuals and naturalists.
The tree stands near the Great Malche, a bay at the northern end of Lake Tegel, and remains accessible to the public through forest paths.
In July 2021, Fat Marie became the first forest tree designated as a German National Heritage Tree, marking its environmental and historical value.
