"Ulenboom" is Low German for owl tree. The name comes from the fact that owls found shelter in the crown or in the hollows of the old trunk. In village folklore, the call of the owl was often considered a mystical sign, which gave the tree a special aura. The linden tree is estimated to be several hundred years old. It has witnessed wars, village fires and the transformation from a heathland circular village to a modern community.
