The Bosdorf oak stands on the edge of the Glashütte museum village directly on the main road. The oak is a registered natural monument of the Teltow-Fläming district. The pedunculate oak is around 400 years old and has a breast height of 6.60 m. The height of the tree is 14.0 m with a crown diameter of approx. 8.0 m (2022). The distinctive trunk is highly recognizable. The oak has been attacked by arson several times. The monumental trunk is completely hollow and has several openings. Traces of fire can be seen in the hollow space. The oak is named after Ernst Bosdorf. He was the gamekeeper of the Prince of Solms-Baruth in Glashütte in the second half of the 19th century. Ernst Bosdorf was buried next to the oak in 1933. At the grave there is an Iron Cross as a memorial stone from Prince Friedrich of Solms-Baruth for Ernst Bosdorf. The oak grows very slowly. In the last 100 years the circumference has increased by less than 1.0 m. The age is therefore higher than the circumference suggests. The trunk is secured against falling over by two steel cables. Despite the various damages, the oak turns green again every year. It is still vital. Source: https://www.monumentale-eichen.de/brandenburg/2-kategorie/glash%C3%BCtte/

The inn was built around 1870 and renovated in 2000. The two-storey, solid plastered building with a gable roof facing the street has a width of seven axes, with the outer axes each projecting forward as a risalit. The right-hand axis is the entrance to the guest room, the left to the staircase. On the upper floor there is a dance hall with a stage and a fireplace room ("Prince's Room"). With its stately appearance and the structured plastered facade, the inn stands out clearly from the residential and commercial buildings of Glashütte and thus illustrates the special function of the building as a princely building, which is also indicated by the replicated blue roof tiles. The inn also had a grocery store, which supplemented the self-sufficient self-sufficiency of the working families. Today the Reuner family runs the inn with beer garden and the "Konsum" opposite.

The former cycle path is used a lot by cars and motorcycles and is now quite worn out

Really nice there. There is a lot to see and experience. Great for kids too. I published a more detailed report on my blog: https://berlinspazierer.de/museumsdorf-glashuette/

No vehicle traffic today and therefore excellent to drive!

The museum village Baruther Glashütte is a highlight of industrial culture. The first Siemens regenerative furnace on the continent went into operation here in 1861. And Reinhold Burger comes from Glashütte: the glass instrument maker invented the thermos flask and manufactured the first X-ray tube in Berlin. The most important "provincial-metropolitan connection" is probably the manufacture of lighting equipment for the "Berlin City of Light" and other major cities. Glashütte is a listed ensemble of workers' houses and factory buildings. The immaterial cultural heritage of manual glass production is maintained in the stately "New Works". During practical demonstrations by the glassmakers, you can only marvel at this craftsmanship. The exhibition itself presents glasses from many centuries. In addition, there are always worth seeing special exhibitions on cultural history and art exhibitions in the museum and in the Packschuppen gallery. Traders and craftswomen look forward to your visit in the listed workers' houses. There is a hearty glassmaker's buffet in the restaurant or in the beer garden. And all over the place: coffee, cocoa, cake, chocolate and wine - what more do you need. You cycle along the Fläming-Skate to Klasdorf, which you can see on the left after leaving the grove behind the fields. www.museumsdorf-glashuette.de Tue-Sun 10am-5pm Accessibility: https://www.barrierefrei-brandenburg.de/suche/dsview/?no_cache=1&tx_tmbbarrierfree_search%5Bpoi%5D=880 The parking lot in the museum village is chargeable.
