Facts and practical information

The Luther Tree in Worms-Pfiffligheim is the torso of a field elm probably planted in the 16th century to commemorate Luther's hearing during the Diet of Worms in 1521. The remains of the tree, including the relief carved from its wood by Gustav Nonnenmacher and the surrounding bench, are listed monuments. With a height of over 30 m and a circumference of 9 m, the tree was among the largest known elms before the loss of its crown in 1870.
