Almost 130 years ago, one German chocolate maker named Wilhelm met a beautiful girl. Her name was Minna. But Minnas father didnt approve of the young couples relationship. So the lovers found a lovely oak tree, where theyd leave each other love letters in the knothole in the trunk. When Minna's father found out about it, he realized that he couldnt stand in the way of true love!
Since then, many love seekers have been sending letters --to the tree-- in hopes of someone finding it and responding. In 1927, the tree started receiving so much mail that it got its own address. Karl-Heinz Martens, the postal worker, confessed that delivering letters to the oak was one of his favorite parts of the day. But the love story that sticks out most for Martens must be that of his own! Date: 2022-04-19
