Linde am Brunnen vor dem Tore, Natural monument and remarkable tree in Bad Sooden-Allendorf, Germany
The Linde am Brunnen vor dem Tore features a large linden tree with a trunk circumference exceeding three meters, standing next to the Zimmersbrunnen fountain.
After the original linden tree fell during a storm in 1912, the current specimen was planted in 1914 and designated as a natural monument in 1936.
The tree and fountain ensemble inspired the famous German song Der Lindenbaum, later set to music by Franz Schubert and adapted by Friedrich Silcher.
The site includes an information plaque with the song lyrics, while the adjacent fountain provides fresh water through a brass outlet pipe mounted on sandstone.
More than 500 people gathered at the tree's centennial celebration to sing the folk song that made this location a symbol of German romantic poetry.
