Arrivel of the Luckner Appel

Yesterday, a tree arrived that marks the beginning of a new chapter in our “Trees For Peace” project.

It’s an apple tree sent from Bavaria, a variety dedicated to Count Nikolaus von Luckner, our Felix’s great-grandfather. He served in the French Revolution, and in this context, the March of the Army of the Rhine was written in his honor, a piece of music that later became the French national anthem, the Marseillaise.

You can find more information about this >>> HERE <<<.

The aforementioned historical context formed the background for the tree selection.

We have contacted different schools in Halle and the surrounding area and will plant some of the Luckner apples on their grounds.

The final agreement has already been reached with one school, so we can begin planning soon.

We will keep you updated here.
