Kaditzer Linde

Look up and take in the sight of the Kaditzer Linde, one of the oldest lime trees in Germany. Imagine this tree witnessing the unfolding history of Dresden over centuries. Just behind you is the Emmauskirche, standing as a silent guardian to this magnificent tree. In 1818, a devastating fire scarred this linden, but it survived and grew even stronger. Those two separate trunks you see are a testament to its resilience, emerging from the ashes of the fire. Listen closely, and you might hear the whisper of its leaves, sharing tales from a time long past.
