An Exhibition in Honor of the Murten Linden

Description

For several weeks, a young, historically significant Linden tree has taken root in the Bourg district, at the intersection of Route and Rue des Alpes. As a descendant of the last authenticated branch of the Murten Linden – a symbolically important tree, which legend associates with the Swiss victory in 1476 – it was gifted to the city of Freiburg by the Botanical Garden of the University on the occasion of the 550th anniversary of the famous battle. To honor this extraordinary cultural heritage, the city and the Botanical Garden now offer the public an open-air exhibition that traces the fascinating history of this tree over the centuries. From its legendary significance to its botanical preservation, this tour illuminates a living heritage at the intersection of collective memory and scientific knowledge. The exhibition is located on the new, landscaped square where the Linden stands and invites both a cultural and contemplative walk. A memorial plaque has also been placed in front of the young tree to permanently honor the significance of this symbol of Freiburg's history. The exhibition is open until early October and offers everyone the opportunity to rediscover a unique testament to the past, now firmly rooted in the present.
