Ginkgo in Rödelheim, Natural monument in Rödelheim, Germany

The Ginkgo tree reaches 18 meters in height and stands next to the Petrihaus in the Brentanopark section of Frankfurt's Rödelheim district.

Planted around 1750 near the Petrihaus, this Ginkgo became the property of merchant Georg Brentano during the period of Solms-Rödelheim county.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe visited the tree in September 1814, which potentially influenced his poem 'Gingo biloba' written for West-östlicher Divan.

Visitors can access the tree during organized events by the Petrihaus association and on the last Sunday afternoon of each month from spring to autumn.

The tree maintains a protected zone of 10 meters around its perimeter and holds the distinction of being Germany's oldest Ginkgo specimen.
