Stundeneiche, Historic oak tree site near Ludwigsfelde, Germany

The Stundeneiche stood at kilometer 82 of the A10 highway, between safety barriers on the central reservation of the Berlin ring road.

For over 150 years, this oak tree marked the approximate one-hour travel distance from Brandenburg to East Berlin during the German Democratic Republic period.

After its removal in 2004, artist Franziska Uhl transformed the six-ton trunk into a public sculpture displayed at Ludwigsfelde's town hall square.

The sculpture consists of two sections positioned half a meter apart, with smooth inner surfaces that become illuminated during nighttime hours.

The Brandenburg state government contributed 5,000 euros from lottery funds to support the creation of this memorial artwork.
