The initiator of the Protestant church building in Dillingen, Pastor August Rudolf de Haas wanted to clearly express his attitude, loyal to the Reich and the Emperor, visually. Not only with the style of his new church buildings in the form of the neo-Romanesque style promoted by Kaiser Wilhelm II , but also with the planting of two "Luther oaks": For example, two oaks that had been grown from acorns of the Wittenberg Lutheran oak were made by de Haas in 1910 planted in front of the Dillinger Church.

De Haas also carried out this symbolic planting before the Protestant church building in Saarlouis , which was built a little later and also initiated by him . The Wittenberg Luther oak stands at the place where Martin Luther publicly burned the papal bull Exsurge Domine of June 15, 1520 in front of the Wittenberg city wall on December 10, 1520 and thus demonstratively failed to comply with the church's order to revoke his theses. Although the Wittenberg Luther oak, which was later planted at the site of the cremation, was felled in 1813 during the French occupation of Wittenberg, a new one, today's Lutheran oak, was planted in 1830 on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the Augsburg confession . Pastor de Haas' Dillinger Luthere oaks come from their acorns and were preserved after the old neo-Romanesque church was torn down.

His demonstratively anti-Catholic and pro-German attitude became pastor de Haas' professional undoing after the German defeat in the First World War and the subsequent administration of the Saar region by the League of Nations : He was expelled from the Saar region in February 1919 by the government commission of the Saar region and was not allowed to visit the Saar region for his entire life enter more.
