The Himmelgeist Tree Spirit is a wooden sculpture crafted from the trunk of the former Himmelgeist Chestnut. This horse chestnut tree stood in Düsseldorf's Himmelgeist district and was declared a natural monument in 1997. Artist Jörg Bäßler transformed the remaining part of the tree into an artwork before it had to be removed for safety reasons.
