5-Mark-Oak, Historic oak tree in Kellenhusen, Germany.
The 5-Mark Oak is a pedunculate oak in Kellenhusener Forest near Kellenhusen on the Lübeck Bay coast. It shapes the forest landscape with its massive trunk and branches visible along the woodland paths.
The oak grew for about 350 years before becoming the model for a German coin in the early 1900s. This choice showed how much the state valued the region's natural heritage.
The tree is named after a coin that featured its shape, reflecting how much the region valued this forest. Today it stands as a bridge between nature and cultural history.
The tree is freely accessible in the forest and can be reached on foot at any time. Bicycles are not permitted in this area, so plan your visit as a walking tour.
The tree died in 2012 but remains a protected monument and continues to stand in the forest. Its weathered wood and hollow sections tell the story of centuries spent rooted in this woodland.
