Trump chaos in Treptow-Köpenick: Ban of grill as the last consequence!

Trump chaos in Treptow-Köpenick: Ban of grill as the last consequence!

annually in the green areas of the Berlin district of Treptow-Köpenick are incurred several hundred tons of garbage, which leads to considerable additional expenses for the district office. One reason for this is the insufficient attention of the rules of conduct by the visitors. The district office points out that the closure of the Johannisthal landscape park in the end of 2023 - most recently used as a public barbecue area - is due to improper use and a high risk of fire due to the dryness. This problem not only results in ecological, but also financial consequences.

The regulatory office, which is responsible for monitoring the regulations of the Green Leave Act, is experiencing an increasing challenge. Garbage sinners that are transferred to violations must expect sensitive fines. However, the monitoring of the green areas brings with it a high demand for personnel and time resources. Often ignorance of the applicable rules leads to conflicts, which further complicates the situation.

rules for use and control

cycling in public green areas is only permitted on marked paths, while grilling and bathing are only allowed in designated places. These measures are necessary to protect the vegetation. The officials of the regulatory office as well as the street and green space office can also do their work by bike in the green areas, provided they have corresponding exceptional permits.

The parking rules are published in detail on the website of the Senate Department for Mobility, Transport, Climate Protection and the Environment. The public order should be maintained by regular controls by the regulatory office. In the long term, however, an increased sense of responsibility for citizens for the environment and the fellow human beings is necessary in order to successfully cope with the challenges of waste management and environmental protection. As the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Security explains in its overview of waste policy, one of the main tasks lies in the awareness of the public for sustainable practices.

The increased efforts to be responsible for ecological responsibility are also in the context of the new GREEN LYSTER Act, which focuses on clearer regulations and responsibilities for the use of public places. Information on this is available at Environmental Digital

With more conscious use and more consideration for our natural resources, each one can help increase the quality of life in the district and to protect the environment. Only through this joint effort will it be possible to ensure the attractiveness and safety of the green areas for all citizens.
