Berlin parks are increasingly checked: violations of garbage and leash are expensive
In Berlin, increased controls are introduced in the parks to combat the littering. The employees of the regulatory offices will be in civil or service clothing this week and address visitors to violations. Particular attention is also paid to dog owners whether they comply with the leash obligation for their four -legged friends. The aim of this campaign is to sensitize visitors to the more careful protection of the green areas.
In the Mitte district alone, around 50 employees will be patrol from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. to monitor all green areas of the district as possible. The main focus is on parks such as the James-Simon Park and the Monbijoupark, in which it is often celebrated.
violations of the Green Leave Act can be punished with an advertisement and an administrative offense procedure. However, the employees of the regulatory offices also have the option of imposing punishments on site. Up to 55 euros can be paid in cash so that the process is immediately completed.
According to the Berlin dog law, dogs in public green areas or parks must be led on a leash at most two meters long. Exceptions only apply in designated discount areas. Dog owners are also obliged to remove the dog droppings. There are also many other rules for visiting public green and recreational plants, such as disposing of cigarette stubs only in trash cans and grilling only on certain areas.
The campaign of the districts is intended to ensure that the parks in Berlin remain clean and well -kept and both Berlin and visitors can continue to enjoy the green areas.
