Naturdenkmal Eisenholzbaum Mozartstraße Strehlen, Natural monument in Strehlen district, Dresden, Germany
The Eisenholzbaum at Mozartstrasse 10 in Strehlen is a Persian ironwood (Parrotia persica) designated as natural monument ND 28. The tree stands in the front garden of the property and reaches about 12 metres in height, with a crown about 7 metres across and a trunk circumference of roughly 1.4 metres.
This tree received protection status from Dresden's administration in 1985 and was designated as an official natural monument. The protection came as part of a broader effort to safeguard notable specimens across the city.
The tree stands in the front garden of Mozartstraße 10, on private ground, and is visible from the street. Its species, Parrotia persica, is native to Iran and the Caucasus and is rare in Central Europe. The Dresden city council placed it under protection as natural monument ND 28 on 3 January 1985, the same day the plane tree at Albertplatz and the oak at Fetscherplatz were protected.
The tree is located in an active residential neighborhood and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors can view this natural monument from the street while respecting private property boundaries.
This specimen grows significantly larger than typical Persian Ironwood trees, which usually remain at shrub size in Central European conditions.
