Hüttchesbaum

Hüttchesbaum, Remarkable tree in Koblenz, Germany.

The Hüttchesbaum is a black poplar planted in 1812 in the Neuendorf district of Koblenz, standing at the old Rhine crossing to Urbar. Its trunk has a hollow at the base, now closed by a metal grate, and a bench and information board stand in front of it. It shapes the Rhine bank view as a landmark of Neuendorf.

In 1812 the ferryman Nikolaus Urmetzer planted two black poplars at the old Rhine crossing from Neuendorf to Urbar as wedding trees. One was lost to a flood, or according to another source to a fire that also destroyed the ferryman's shelter. Since the 1960s the survivor has been called Hüttchesbaum, after that hut.

The name Hüttchesbaum has been used since the 1960s because the poplar stood beside the ferryman's shelter at the old Rhine crossing from Neuendorf to Urbar. The two trees planted in 1812 were wedding trees of the boatman Nikolaus Urmetzer, set in a stone ring where people sat to chat. A bench in front of the tree and an information board beside it now serve visitors.

The poplar stands in Koblenz-Neuendorf on the Rhine bank at the old ferry crossing to Urbar, with a bench and an information board in front of it. Since severe damage was found in July 2025, the adjoining Leinpfad riverside path is closed until further notice, so the tree is best viewed from the surrounding riverside area.

The name Hüttchesbaum has been used since the 1960s and refers to the ferryman's hut that once stood beside the tree at the old Rhine crossing to Urbar. A fire in the root hollow in 1977 was treated by a tree surgeon; a metal grate has covered the opening at the base ever since.
