Linden heart-shaped (linden small-leaved), Tilia cordata. Description, illustrations of the plant Linden. Myths, traditions, symbolism
A deciduous tree of about 60 species in the northern temperate zone, widely known among the German-speaking peoples as a rural tree and a source of shade at the gathering place. Among the Germans, it was dedicated to the goddess Freya, was considered protection from lightning and a distinctive sign of local legal proceedings. Ever since Walther von der Vogslweides often mentioned it in songs, the linden tree has become downright a symbol of rural society; but in the Slavic countries, the linden often received a similar high appreciation, even as a donor of honey from linden blossom, collected by bees. The 'Linden Blossom', so named in popular tradition (used to make diaphoretic tea), is in fact the whole inflorescence, together with a wing-like bract, which gives the impression of an organ for flight. Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) called the linden, according to the doctrine of the four juices, a "very warm" plant; all its heat is contained in the roots and rises from there to the branches and leaves. Linden is also a symbol of fragility (?). It helps against heart ailments and can be consumed as a bread powder from the inside of its roots. Makes the eyes clear if you cover the eyelids and face with fresh linden leaves before going to bed. Linden is often represented in heraldry by stylized heart-shaped leaves, for example on the seal of the imperial city of Lindau. The "linden leaf cross" as a coat of arms has heart-shaped linden leaves at the ends, which were also depicted on a shield or served as an ornament on a helmet (Landgraves of Thuringia and Hesse); this cross is shaped like curved linden branches.
