Germany, Hamburg, Jenisch Park, Common or European Oak.
📌...The Oak tree was planted about 400 years ago, around 1600 at a time before the park was designed; the girth grows about 3cm per year.
The trunk currently has a circumference of a little over 8.20 m, the tree height is a slight over 20 m. The monumental oak tree has a fairly large crown with a diameter of good 20 m.
The trunk of the oak tree has a large hole on one side, which extends just above the ground to a height of more than 4 m. The opening had been sanitized in 1972 & at that time braced with iron bars, even so the vitality of the oak is still quite good.
The Jenisch park is the oldest landscaped park in Hamburg, located in the Othmarschen quarter at the shore of River Elbe, of the area of 43 ha 8 ha are a protected.
Two museums, Jenisch House & Ernst Barlach House, are located within the park. The small river “Flottbek” flows through the park & into the Elbe at the ferry dock “Teufelsbrück” meaning devils bridge…
The area of today's park was acquired by Caspar Voght in the period from 1785 to 1805, together with extensive land near the town of Flottbek. At the time, it was largely uninhabited former cultivated land. All of Voght's property consisted of four parts, which were grouped around a country house & which can still be seen in the townscape today: today's Jenisch park, the botanical garden, among other things a golf course & initially a tree nursery, but today also park again.
Voght was inspired when landscaping his property by English poet William Shenstone's estate, The Leasowes. He planned an extensive ideal landscape with which he wanted to combine aesthetic & economic aspects, social responsibility & agricultural use. Together with the Scottish farmer Alexander Rogers he designed a model estate in the form of a so-called rural farm as a sequence of picturesque landscapes that were accessed via a circular route. The result was a park landscape with farmland, wooded areas & groups of trees that seemed casually embedded & buildings.
