The Breslau botanist and teacher Theodor Schube (1860-1934) was not an office researcher. For 40 years he covered more than 120,000 kilometres by bicycle and on foot. Very successfully. In 1904 he published the monumental ‘Flora von Schlesien preussischen und österreichischen Anteils’ in the distinguished Korn publishing house, and two years later the ‘Book of Silesian Forests’. I walked and cycled (also by bicycle) in his footsteps to see with my own eyes the oldest, thickest and most valuable trees of the region, and above all to describe their significance in culture and collective memory. I call this dendrochronology .
