Boxhohn-Eiche, Ancient oak tree in Troisdorf, Germany.
The Boxhohn-Eiche stood as a pedunculate oak tree between Altenrath and Hasbach, marking a significant natural landmark in the Wahner Heide region.
Named after the Boxhohn hamlet, which was abandoned in 1915 due to the expansion of the Wahn shooting range, this oak tree remained a central feature until 2019.
The tree represented local resilience, with generations of residents sharing stories about its presence and role in the community's natural heritage.
Visitors can reach the site through a service road that branches east from Hasbacher Street, where a new sessile oak was planted in March 2019.
In the 1930s, engineers reinforced the hollow tree with concrete core and iron rails to maintain its stability for several more decades.
