Muttereiche, Natural monument in Hechingen, Germany.
The Muttereiche stands as an oak tree in a forest west of Hechingen-Stein, near the path leading towards Schloss Lindich at 523 meters elevation.
The location of Muttereiche held significance as a gathering place for Alemanni people before the establishment of Christianity in the region through the Martinikirche church.
The oak tree represents a connection to ancient Germanic traditions, as these locations often served as community meeting points for decision-making and ceremonies.
Located at coordinates 48.368681 latitude and 8.930478 longitude, visitors can find this natural monument within the protected landscape area of Mittleres Starzeltal.
By autumn 2016, only the substantial stump remained after the tree's crown broke away, marking the end of its long presence in the forest.
