N2 - Der beliebte Brauch, Hain- oder Hagebuchen als Heckenbepflanzung einzusetzen, lenkt
den Blick unmittelbar auf den zentralen Charakter dieses Baumes: «Hag» bedeutet
geschützter Raum, und die Hainbuche stellt einen Baum dar, der stark in sich zentriert
erscheint – ein zusammengeballter Typus, der nach außen hin abschließend wirkt.
Ihre Vegetationsorgane sind dabei immer ordentlich ausgestaltet, jedoch nie einseitig
spezialisiert; sie tragen jeweils noch die Omnipotenz zum Ganzen in sich. Das Wurzelwesen
steigt in den Hainbuchenstamm auf, während zugleich das Vermögen, beblätterte Sprosse
hervorzubringen, nachhaltig mit ihm verbunden bleibt. Die Spannrückigkeit des Stammes,
sein dichtes Holz, die glatte Rinde und die dürren Winterblätter sind davon ein Ausdruck.
Auch die Uniformität der Blätter, die extreme Reduktion der Blüte und die mit vielen
Blattorganen eingehüllte, sehr harte Frucht sind Zeuge des ineinandergeschobenen Typus
der Hainbuche. 

N1 - The popular use of the hornbeam in hedging immediately draws our attention to a key
feature of this tree. Indeed, Hagebuche, one of the common names for the hornbeam in
German, contains the word ‘Hag’, meaning grove or sheltered space. And the hornbeam
presents as a tree that appears strongly centred in itself – a typical form that is concentrated,
effectively shut off from the outside. Its vegetative organs are always neatly shaped, though
never one-sidedly specialised, each still containing totipotency for the whole. The influence
of the root region extends up the trunk of the hornbeam while at the same time it always
retains the capacity to produce leafy shoots. The deep indentations in the trunk, its dense
wood, the smooth bark and the dried up winter leaves are all an expression of it. Even the
uniformity of the leaves, the extremely reduced flower and the very hard fruit enveloped
in leaf organs are witness to the hornbeam’s telescoped typical form.
