Plane tree in the basement garden
Officially plane tree in the basement garden , on site only Dicker Baum or - in the local dialect - Dicker Baam is the name of a natural monument with the list number ND-7332-517 in the Rhineland-Palatinate municipality of Dirmstein , the highest tree of which is the plane tree .
Geographical location
The tree stands in the south of the upper village near the Kellergarten park at a height of about 102 m . A few meters outside of its southern corner, which is formed by the former mansion belonging to the park , the plane tree stands on the other side of Bleichstrasse on the left bank of the Eckbach . A bridge over the Affenstein road leads west of the tree and a wooden footbridge for pedestrians to the east. A hexagonal wooden bench, renovated in 1999, is attached around the trunk.
Size and age
The tree has a height of more than twenty and a trunk circumference of a good six meters. It was probably planted when the basement garden was created , which was created around 1790 as an English landscape garden by the landscape architect Friedrich Ludwig Sckell on behalf of the local aristocratic family Sturmfeder von Oppenweiler . The first plane trees had been imported to Germany less than half a century earlier . The age of the tree should therefore be over 200 years.
