Auf dem Mehringdamm in Kreuzberg wurden in letzter Zeit vermehrt Schäden an Bäumen festgestellt. Besonders betroffen sind die Bäume entlang der Hauptverkehrsstraße Mehringdamm, deren Wurzeln durch den starken Verkehrsaufkommen belastet werden. Zudem sind die Bäume aufgrund der hohen Luftverschmutzung und der häufigen Baumaßnahmen in der Umgebung geschwächt. Um die Bäume vor Schäden zu schützen, wurden Maßnahmen ergriffen, wie beispielsweise das Anlegen von Baumschutzeinrichtungen und das Entfernen von Xylophagen.

On the Mehringdamm in Kreuzberg, damage to trees has recently been determined. The trees along the main traffic road Mehringdamm are particularly affected, the roots of which are burdened by the strong traffic. In addition, the trees are weakened due to the high air pollution and frequent construction work in the area. To protect the trees from damage, measures were taken, such as creating tree protection devices and removing xylophages. Furthermore, the city administration of Kreuzberg has created a plan to improve tree growth, which, among other things, provides for the planting of young trees. There are a total of around 29,511 street trees in the Kreuzberg district, of which 2,611 young trees are. In addition, there are around 29,511 park trees and 6,711 trees on green areas in the district. These trees are particularly important for the city climate and the quality of life of the residents. The city administration is therefore actively committed to maintaining and maintaining the trees. However, there are also challenges such as fungal infestation and the changeable climate that additionally strain the trees. Through suitable measures such as improving the soil quality and reducing air pollution, those responsible want to counteract this. 18 trees have already been felled on the Gneisenustraße because they were no longer assessed as stable by the district. This is a measure for the safety of the population and a preventive measure to minimize possible dangers. The city administration also tries to replace the felled trees with new plantings.
