I found this to be true of many "forests" in parks in Germany while living there. Felt absolutely bizarre. The old airport in Munich got turned into a park, some parts are very cool, but there's this one area where they planted a bunch of trees...in an extremely precise grid structure. It's just so weird to see, like why would you do that? Like a stereotype of German culture brought to life. One example at the park: https://maps.app.goo.gl/4G2Wg2BHgfiZkaxe7 https://maps.app.goo.gl/4G2Wg2BHgfiZkaxe7 Though you can see some other areas where they did the same thing.

If you want old forests, you have to go to the mountains. Anyplace steep enough, to hinder easy woodcutting. In those places you find the remains of real forest. But things are changing, there is actually a new diverse forest growing, where those monoculture tree plantations have been. It will just take some time and hopefully the forests gets that time, before monocultures come into fashion again..
