Schmidt-Rottluff-Allee
The Schmidt-Rottluff-Allee is a protected natural monument avenue of horse chestnuts ( Aesculus hippocastanum ) in Sierksdorf in the Ostholstein district in Schleswig-Holstein .
Its protection as a natural monument goes back to the fact that the painter Karl Schmidt-Rottluff (1884–1976) captured it expressionistically in 1956 - during one of his summer stays in Sierksdorf - in the picture Seehofallee in Sierksdorf , which made it famous.
The approx. 150 meter long avenue consists of two rows of 17 trees each at a distance of approx. Seven meters, which are slightly irregularly spaced from one another. The avenue runs in a west-northwest direction parallel to the street "Am Seehof" to which it leads.
history
The exact time the avenue was planted is not known; Due to the height of the trees of approx. 12 meters and the diameter of the trees between 0.5 and 0.8 meters and the history of the property, the year 1900 is assumed.
