For each of the 33 beeches, the location, the federal state, the two dimensions and the estimated age are given. All of them are European beeches ( Fagus sylvatica ). Baden-Württemberg has the most with a total of eleven strong bookings, followed by Bavaria with nine, six of which are in the Rhön .
