Thingslinde
Nature conservation area/natural monument
The Thingslinde is an old court tree in Kierspe, under which many a trial was probably held.
Address
Thingslinde
Thingslindestraße
58566 Kierspe
Properties:
The large lime tree in the north of the town of Kierspe is a reminder of the time of the Femegerichte in the Middle Ages. It is considered a natural monument and is estimated to be around 300 - 400 years old. In this context, the term " Things" is a reminder of the Freigrafen of the time.
The location for the lime tree was chosen deliberately, as in the Middle Ages an important (trade) road that connected Amsterdam with Frankfurt ran right through here. The tree was therefore visible from afar on this road.
The Kaiser Wilhelm lime tree was planted directly opposite the Thingslinde in honor of the emperor at the time and the founding of the empire.
