It is a silent contribution to culture in public space, more precisely a project that started in 2005, was unveiled in 2007 and was completed in 2012 with the installation of the last clay tiles (approx. 1,500). .

On MOZ.de I found the following about the unveiling in 2007: "Its leaves, branches and twigs consist of clay tiles that were individually designed by Rathenowers, but also by the hands of guests of the city. The tiles already made whisper the stories that life writes: a birthday, an anniversary, a wedding, a graduation, the loving tenderness of grandparents and parents for their children, a playful child, a verse or just a greeting. The tree is far from finished - anyone who wants to participate can do so! The more participate, the more dazzling and interesting the tree will be. Year after year it stretches its leaves a little more into the sky and unfolds its splendor. One day the tree will reach the size of 6 x 8 meters.”

Birthplace of Johann Heinrich August Duncker

Highlight • Historical Site

Johann Heinrich August Duncker (born January 14, 1767 in Rathenow, † June 14, 1843 ibid) was a German optical industrialist.
In 1789, after successfully completing his studies, he returned to Rathenow and produced microscopes and glasses in the rectory and sold them from around 1790. On March 10, 1801, together with the garrison priest Samuel Christoph Wagener, he opened the royal privileged optical industrial establishment, the later Rathenower Optical Works (ROW). Duncker invented the multi-grinding machine, which he also patented. This invention made the manufacture of the required lenses considerably easier, so that the young school leavers he later employed could also be employed in production without great physical effort. The multi-grinding machine and the development of his institution - which was particularly promoted by his son Eduard and his grandson Emil Busch - laid the foundation stone for the development of the city of Rathenow as an optical industrial location and gave it the honorary name City of Optics that still exists today.
