Süntelbuchenallee Bad Nenndorf

The Süntelbuchenallee is a landmark of the town of Bad Nenndorf in the district of Schaumburg in Lower Saxony . It is located in the city's historic spa gardens and is unique in Germany. The avenue consists of about 100 Süntel beeches and is about half a kilometer long.

history

At the beginning of the 20th century, the well gardener and dendrologist Carl Thon (1867–1955) began to grow seedlings from the beech nuts of the so-called Tilly beech , which until 1994 stood on the northeastern edge of the Süntel not far from Bad Nenndorf . With these he planted the foundation for the avenue. The number of Süntel beeches increased through root shoots and subsidence . Additional planting of new specimens resulted in a population of almost 100 Süntel beeches.

Extensive measures to renaturate the Süntelbuchenallee were carried out in 2013. Various trees were felled around the avenue under the supervision of tree experts and in coordination with the monument protection authorities. Some dead Süntel beeches were also removed in order to give younger specimens enough space to grow.

In March and April 2015 there was vandalism on the Süntel-Buchen. At least two young trees were destroyed.

Events

In January 2012, the New Year's glow took place in the Süntelbuchenalle for the first time . During this multi-day event, the trees are illuminated and staged by light artists . The performance is accompanied by a supporting program with various live bands and other events. The New Year's glow takes place every three years.
