The old linden tree in the cemetery

According to the school chronicle, the old linden tree in the cemetery, which is under conservation , was planted as a 12-year-old sapling by teacher Kern (Kärn) from Eisighofen in 1752 . In the past, every new teacher who came to a church should plant a tree. With its zwölfarmige pruning they were called apostles Linde . The community has done a lot to maintain it.
