Badanger linden
The Badangerlinde is a natural monument (ND-04484) on the north-eastern edge of Gößweinstein in Franconian Switzerland . It stands on a meadow next to a chapel at a crossroads at an altitude of 430 meters above sea level. The linden tree is said to have already been mentioned in the Chronicle of Gößweinstein in the 13th century, so it would be around 800 years old.
history
The origin of the name has not been passed down specifically. In 1981, the forester Hartwig Goerss wrote in Our Tree Veterans that the linden tree is usually called “Am Bad auf dem Anger” as the location of the linden tree, and that is where the name Badangerlinde comes from. On the linden tree, which caught fire at least twice, is said to have been a courtroom. An information board on the trunk attributes it to an age of 900 to 1000 years. The circumference of the root ridges is given as twelve and at chest height (1.3 meters high) as seven meters. The tree was renovated a few decades ago at a cost of 12,000 German marks and the cavity in the trunk was lined with stones.
description
At a height of several meters, the trunk forked into originally two large branches, which rose steeply and formed the large crown that was still preserved in the 1980s. Now one of these branches is missing, so that only half of the crown is left. The age of the linden tree is given differently in the literature. A part indicates an age of 700 to 800 years, which is based on a corresponding mention in the chronicle. In 2007 Michel Brunner gave an age of about 350 years in Significant Linden . In 2012 the linden tree had a circumference of 7.24 meters at the point of its smallest diameter of 1.3 meters, the height of the so-called breast height diameter (BHD). Michel Brunner named a circumference of 7.3 meters for 2007 and Hartwig Goerss for 1981 a chest height of 7.15 meters. In 2003 the circumference at a height of one meter was 7.40, just above the ground 11 meters and the height 25 meters.
