Edignalinde, Natural monument lime tree in Puch, Fürstenfeldbruck, Germany

Edignalinde is a large-leaved lime (Tilia platyphyllos) on the cemetery beside Sankt Sebastian church in Puch, a district of Fürstenfeldbruck. Only part of the original trunk survives, furrowed and covered with knobs and growths; after a rotten section was felled in 1947 the former hollow was lost. Young shoots from the remaining trunk form a secondary crown about 20 m high and 17 m across. The trunk measured roughly 10.5 m in girth in 2005, and a small chapel-like house with a painted wooden figure of Edigna appears fused into the tree.

According to legend, Edigna, a daughter of a French king, arrived in Puoche in 1074 and lived 35 years as a hermit in the hollow trunk of the lime. The tree appears in numerous depictions from the 17th century onward, and in 1861 it was drawn on the survey sheet of Puch beside the church. In 1880 a storm broke one of its two main branches, and in 1947 the rotten part of the trunk was felled.

Every ten years since 1959, the Edigna Festival plays are held on the saint's feast day, staging her life and work in a theatre piece that also takes in the story of the lime. A painted wooden figure of Blessed Edigna stands in a small chapel-like house beside the tree, which has partly grown around it. A plaque placed on the chapel in 1969 by the Puch heritage association records her years there as 1074–1109.

The location is easy to reach by following Edignaweg street, which leads directly to the site, and GPS coordinates are available for navigation. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes as the access is on foot, and the cemetery grounds around it can be explored.

The hollow where Edigna is said to have lived no longer exists: when the rotten part of the trunk was felled in 1947, inner wood became the outer layer. What remains is a furrowed stump covered in knobs and growths, with a chapel-like hut holding a painted wooden figure of Edigna that the trunk has partly grown around.
