The lies stone , together with the adjacent lying oak , the symbol of Göxe , a district of the city Barsinghausen in the Hanover region in Lower Saxony . Both were designated together in 1937 as the natural monument oak with devil's stone .
Location
The natural monument is located at the intersection of Bundesstraße 65 and Lügensteinstraße , Landesstraße 390, next to a barn .
description
The natural monument "Oak with Devil's Stone" was included in the second ordinance on the protection of natural monuments of the district of Hanover from December 1937. The Hanover region, which is responsible for the tasks of the lower nature conservation authority in the area of the city of Barsinghausen, took over the tree with the label "ND-H 6" when the directory was reorganized in 2010.
The lying stone
Part of the natural monument is a "stone slab at the base of the trunk, which is supported by boulders".
The capstone of the stone setting was supposedly the largest and heaviest boulder far and wide . Possibly a pre-Christian sacrificial site was here. According to legend, the first Christian missionaries preached in the area at this point. The original capstone was rolled through the village in high spirits by "young boys" from the neighboring village of Stemmen and smashed in the 19th century . The fragments were used to build houses. The Stemmer had to move the allegedly much smaller capstone to Göxe as a replacement.
The stone is an almost circular sandstone slab , with a thickness of 20 cm and a diameter of 1.50 m. The adjacent street is called Lügensteinstraße.
According to another source, the capstone is also called "Devil's Stone". The designation was taken up in the natural monument directory.
According to legend, anyone who sits on the round stone slab has to tell the truth. This could be due to an earlier use as a meeting place.
The lying stone oak
The tree as part of the natural monument is a mighty oak. According to the description in the Natural Monument Ordinance of the Hanover Region in 2010, it was a "pronounced pedunculate oak in good physiological condition". The tree that characterizes the site should be protected because of its beauty. The lying stone oak was around 21 m high in 2020. The trunk circumference at a height of 1.30 m was given as 4.66 m.
Göxer coat of arms
The coat of arms of the then still independent municipality of Göxe, approved by the district president in Hanover in November 1959, shows an image of oak and Lügenstein.
