[DE] "Die alte Eiche am Jakob-Kneip-Platz ist 700 Jahre alt und hat einen Umfang von mehr als 6 m.

Im Jahr 2011 brachen nach einem heftigen Sturm mehrere Äste ab und die Eiche musste umfassend saniert werden. Das Erscheinungsbild hat sich seitdem geändert, der Anblick ist jedoch nach wie vor erhaben.

Eine vom Dichter Jakob Kneip gestiftete Mutter-Gottes-Statue steht am Fuße der alten Eiche."

Die Eiche wird auch in der Liste der Naturdenkmäler geführt: (visit link)
