Femeiche

The Femeiche tree stands eleven meters tall with a crown diameter of eight meters and a trunk measuring twelve meters in circumference.

Dating back between 600 and 850 years, this oak tree served as a location for judicial courts until the 16th century in Central Europe.

The name Rabenseiche connects to Germanic mythology, where the tree held connections to the god Odin according to regional traditions and stories.

A granite sculpture representing a court table with justice symbols stands outside the protective fence, marking the historical significance of this location.

The trunk contains only sapwood and remains hollow for 250 years, requiring wooden poles for support while continuing to produce new growth.
