Here in Germany we have them occasionally, but they aren't yet that large (but still impressive). People back in the late 1800s brought some seeds over and planted them. The nearest to me is about 1 to 2 kms away and quite some more are in the woods around Stuttgart.

German article about them: https://www.stuttgarter-zeitung.de/inhalt.mammutbaeume-in-stuttgart-die-wilhelmasaat-ist-aufgegangen.9667a391-7635-4c0b-809a-6cc14a86b658.html
