Solling Spruce

... on the trunk I’ve counted 150 rings: so this tree was born around 1870, when the German-French war was broken loose, and Ernst Barlach, Alfred Adler, W. I. Lenin, Franz Lehar, Otto Reutter, Maria Montessori, Adolf Loos, and many others were born (you are welcome to look up one or the other biography and work yourselves into their oeuvres...) -and this tree lived to this year!
