            Atlas cedar (Cedrus atlantica)
The tree was planted in Bad Homburg Castle Park in 1822.
 It has the proud height of over 20 meters and a trunk 
circumference of 6.40 meters. The spreading crown of the
 cedar is over 35 meters wide. Even today, the cedar
 in the upper garden, which is characterized by the
 imperial era the English Princess Elizabeth of Great 
 Britain (1770-1840). (1770-1840). In 1818, she married
 Landgrave VI. Joseph (1769-1829) in 1818. Like the
 landgrave's family, Elizabeth had a great interest in 
 botany and garden design. She actively designed
 the gardens during her time in Homburg. It was only 
 thanks to the close contact between the English
 princess and her homeland, that the cedar tree
 from the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew (London) found
 its way to Homburg.

Atlaszeder (Cedrus atlantica)
Der Baum wurde 1822 im Bad Homburger Schloßpark 
gepflanzt. Er hat die stolze Höhe von über 20 Metern
und einen Stammumfang von 6,40m. Die ausladende
Krone der Zeder ist über 35m breit. Noch heute erinnert 
die Zeder in dem von der Kaiserzeit geprägten
Obergarten an die englische Prinzessin Elizabeth von 
Großbritannien(1770-1840). Sie heiratete 1818
Landgraf VI. Joseph (1769-1829).
Wie auch die landgräfliche Familie besaß Elizabeth 
ein großes Interesse an Botanik und Gartenkunst. 
Tatkräftig gestaltete sie während ihrer Zeit in
Homburg die Gartenanlage mit. Erst dem engen
Kontakt der englischen Prinzessin in die alte Heimat 
ist es zu verdanken, dass die Zeder aus den Royal
Botanic Gardens von Kew (London) in Homburg
Einzug erhielt.
