"Dieser Baum steht wegen seiner besonderen Schönheit, Größe und seiner Seltenheit in Leipzig als Naturdenkmal unter Schutz.
Seit der Römerzeit wurde die in Südeuropa, Kleinasien und Teilen Nordafrikas beheimatete Edelkastanie gleichzeitig mit dem Wein in vielen wärmeren Gebieten Mittel- und Westeuropas eingeführt."
This tree is protected as natural monument because it is beautiful, big and rare within Leipzig.
Since the age of the Romans, the sweet chestnut is exported to warmer regions of Central and Western Europe from Southern Europa, Asia Minor and Northern Africa, together with wine.
