Florentine-Eiche, Ancient oak tree in Straupitz, Germany
The Florentine Oak stands in the Byttnahain forest with a trunk circumference of 8.55 meters and reaches a height of 16 meters.
The oak tree, which died between 1946 and 1947, received its name from Florentine von der Beeke, wife of General Christoph von Houwald.
This oak tree represents the remaining evidence of an ancient pastoral woodland where livestock grazed and farmers used acorns for pig feeding.
Visitors can find the dead oak tree directly along the southern Byttna hiking trail, visible from the L51 road between Straupitz and Byhleguhre.
On May 1, 2000, a new oak tree named Florentinchen was planted next to the original Florentine Oak to continue its legacy.
