Donar's Oak (also Thor's Oak or, via interpretatio romana, Jove's Oak) was a sacred tree of the Germanic pagans located in an unclear location around what is now the region of Hesse, Germany. According to the 8th century Vita Bonifatii auctore Willibaldi, the Anglo-Saxon missionary Saint Boniface and his retinue cut down the tree earlier in the same century. Wood from the oak was then reportedly used to build a church at the site dedicated to Saint Peter. Sacred trees and sacred groves were widely venerated by the Germanic peoples.

  • El Roble de Thor, también conocido en alemán como Donareiche (roble de Donar o roble del trueno) era un legendario árbol sagrado para la tribu germánica de los Chatti, antepasados de los hessianos y un importante lugar sagrado de los pueblos germánicos paganos. (es)
  • Le chêne de Thor, également appelé chêne de Donar ou encore chêne de Jupiter, est un arbre sacré, vénéré par les peuples germaniques des Chattes, installés autour de ce qui est aujourd’hui la région de Hesse, en Allemagne. Selon l'hagiographie chrétienne, au VIIIe siècle, le missionnaire Boniface de Mayence fait abattre l'arbre afin de symboliser la supériorité du christianisme sur les rites païens. Le bois du chêne aurait ensuite été utilisé pour construire une église sur le site dédié à saint Pierre. (fr)
  • L'Albero di Thor (Donareiche, in lingua tedesca) era un antico albero sacro per la tribù germanica dei Catti e uno dei più importanti luoghi sacri dei popoli germanici pagani. L'albero era ubicato nei pressi del villaggio di Geismar, che oggi fa parte della città di Fritzlar nell'Assia del nord, ed era il principale luogo di culto della divinità germanica Thunraz (conosciuto come Donar tra le tribù della Germania occidentale, Thor dagli scandinavi) da parte dei Catti e della maggior parte delle altre tribù germaniche. Il suo abbattimento nel 723 segnò l'inizio della cristianizzazione delle tribù non franche della Germania settentrionale. (it)
  • De Donareik was in de achtste eeuw n.Chr. een eik in Geismar, bij Fritzlar (Duitsland) die eik van Jupiter werd genoemd. Het was een heiligdom van de Hessen. De heilige boom werd volgens Willibalds hagiografie (geschreven rond 766) door Bonifatius omgehakt in 723. Hiermee wilde, de latere heilige, Bonifatius bewijzen dat de Germaanse goden machteloos waren: er gebeurde namelijk niets, terwijl de Germanen verwachtten dat hun god wraak zou nemen. Willibald beschrijft dat de Hessen die getuige waren zich bekeerden en hun vroegere zonden afzwoeren. Hij voegde er zelfs aan toe dat de boom in vier gelijke delen uiteen viel. (nl)
