The University of Münster replanted around 150 Wild Lime Trees in the Schlossgarten. At the foot of most of the trees is a sign with a personal engraving by the sponsors. Below you will find the inscriptions sorted according to the location of the rows of trees. We have reproduced the texts as they are/were publicly displayed on the signs.

  • A stake on either side of the young tree supports it until it is firmly rooted.
    The young trees are supported during the first few years until their roots are anchored deep enough.
