Linden (Halloh-Kapelle Wallen)
The linden tree natural monument with a trunk diameter of 1.0 m is located next to the Halloh Chapel north of Wallen in the urban area of Meschede . The tree was designated as a natural monument (ND) in 2008 with the Meschede landscape plan by the Hochsauerland district under no. 2.2.23 .
On the last weekend in July 2014, a thick branch broke off the linden tree. After the branch was broken off, the church council of St. Severinus Calle demanded that the linden tree be felled because of the traffic safety obligation. The Hochsauerlandkreis as the regulatory authority did not agree to the felling. Two tree inspectors checked the linden tree for traffic safety, independently of each other. Both rated the linden tree as stable. Shortly afterwards, measures were taken on the tree. In order to improve the stability and break resistance of the natural monument, the tree was pruned and safety systems were installed in the crown. According to the district, these measures had nothing to do with the branch break in July. The order for the securing work had already been given in April. The church council hung up notes stating that entering the site was "at your own risk". According to the landscape law, the owner, here the parish of St. Severinus Calle, is responsible for ensuring traffic safety. Since the linden tree has been designated as a natural monument by the district, the district has to pay for the care of the tree.
