Tausendjährige Linde, Natural monument in Elsthal, Luckenwalde, Germany
The ancient linden tree measures 7.13 meters in circumference and reaches a height of 15 meters, supported by a metal framework due to its hollow trunk.
The tree dates back to the 13th century when monks planted it near their water mill along the Nuthe River in Brandenburg.
Local folklore connects the tree to the tale of miller's daughter Schönhannchen, who spun golden hair into yarn, giving name to nearby residential area.
The tree undergoes maintenance twice yearly, with regular pruning to manage its growth and adjustments to the supporting metal structure.
Inside the hollow trunk, the tree developed internal roots while maintaining strong vitality and continuous growth despite its structural condition.
