Nice play on words. But this is not a dawn redwood (Metasequoia), but a bald cypress (Taxodium). Although both have similar flower tails and both drop their needles in winter, only the bald cypress forms such root knees.

Lorenz Berger, Forester for Future, is happy about the lush leafy roofs, filled lakes, dragonflies and frogs on the Grubenkopf. The city forest is currently recovering excellently. https://www.allgemeine-zeitung.de/lokales/bad-kreuznach/so-gruen-war-es-im-bad-kreuznacher-stadtwald-lange-nicht-mehr-3787909
