Kopfbuche bei Gremsheim, Ancient beech tree in Bad Gandersheim, Germany
The Kopfbuche features distinctive twisted branches spreading in all directions, reaching a height of 14 meters with a crown diameter of 24 meters.
The tree underwent extensive restoration in 2001, revealing its age of 205 years, while local chronicles mention a significant repair intervention in 1930.
Local residents consider this tree one of the last authentic specimens of its kind, representing the natural heritage of Lower Saxony's forest landscape.
The tree stands 100 meters from the forest edge on private farmland, surrounded by a metal fence installed after a major branch broke in 2006.
The trunk circumference measures 6 meters, with an annual diameter growth of 9.6 millimeters due to regular fertilization from the surrounding agricultural land.
