The Bohnenländer oak or thick oak was a pedunculate oak ( Quercus robur L. ) protected as a natural monument in the city of Brandenburg an der Havel near the Bohnenland residential area , about halfway between Lake Bohnenländer and Gallberg .

history

The Bohnenländer oak was a tree estimated to be around 320 to 450 years or around 500 years old in the Bohnenland district in the Old Town Forest not far from the Bohnenland forestry house. Due to its special size, the thick oak was placed under protection on November 20, 1934. After the trunk of the tree was split by a lightning strike in 1943, the extensive gap in the trunk was filled with clay and walled up with bricks by Hans Lubitz and Hermann Knape to secure it in 1956 . In 2001, the oak was one meter high and 8.42 meters in circumference and the trunk at its narrowest point, the waist, was 8.12 meters in circumference. This made it one of the thickest oaks in Germany. The chest height was 8.36 m in July 2015. In a storm night from November 13 to 14, 2015, the Bohnenländer oak broke apart completely after a large branch had already broken off in September.
