Schluttenbacher Linde, Ancient linden tree in Ettlingen, Germany
The Schluttenbacher Linde is a large linden tree in Ettlingen with a thick trunk whose branches are supported by special rubber suspensions. This construction helps the tree carry its weight while continuing to grow healthily.
This tree dates from 937 and stands as one of the region's oldest witnesses to time. A severe storm in 1867 damaged its crown, yet the tree survived and shaped Schluttenbach's story.
This linden tree serves as the heart of Schluttenbach village and stands beside a historic spring that marks where the settlement began. People gather here to experience this natural meeting place.
The tree receives regular care to maintain its health and stability. Visitors find the best views and most comfortable experience during early morning or late afternoon hours.
The trunk received masonry reinforcement in 1940, but this support was removed in 1976 to allow the tree to grow naturally. This choice showed that the tree's natural state mattered more than artificial structures.
