Dreizehnlinden denotes a place at the northern end of the oak avenue on the banks of the Weser in front of the Corvey monastery in Höxter . There is a stone cross framed by four linden trees. This was built in 1750 by Kaspar II von Böselager-Honeburg (1687–1758) during his tenure as Abbot of Corvey (1737–1758) by the sculptor Johannes Pollmann from Marsberg. According to the epic epic by Friedrich Wilhelm Weber from Bad Driburg , a murder is said to have occurred at this point.
