The pillory lime was probably used earlier as a court tree and stands on the northern slope next to the church in Großpörthen. With a trunk circumference of approx. 9.85 m measured at a height of 1.5 m and a current height of approx. 12 m, it is probably the thickest small-leaved lime in Germany. Since it was not registered as a natural monument until 2021 and was also not listed in various databases on striking tree specimens, it is still quite unknown. But this has changed since June 11, 2021, when it was raised to the status of a national heritage tree as the seventh tree on the occasion of the 900-year celebration of the village of Großpörthen. Determining the age of such ancient linden trees is relatively difficult, and the Prangerlinde (approx. 1950) is said to have broken off a part of the trunk up the slope. Currently the age of the linden tree is estimated at around 700-900 years, which would coincide with the founding of the town (first mentioned in 1121). The use of the tree as a court tree is documented insofar as a rusted neck iron can still be seen on the tree. The choice of the Board of Trustees of National Heritage Trees to raise the pillory to the status of a national heritage tree now ensures sensitive care and safeguarding of the preservation of the tree. This seems sensible, since it has compensated for the special hillside location with numerous overgrowths in the trunk and root area and sprouts very vigorously - which only supports the intention of its selection.
