Reinickendorf is recovering: Parks and streets restored after storms!
The Berlin district of Reinickendorf is facing major challenges after the severe storms in June 2025. Twelve weeks after the devastating weather events, the Roads and Parks Department is now working on restoring parks, green spaces and streets. The focus is currently on the popular recreation areas, while the school locations have already reopened. In this context, extensive maintenance and felling work is planned in Kienhorstpark, including the sports facility on Ollenhauerstrasse, as well as in Schäferseepark, reports Berlin.de.
Service companies have been commissioned, especially for the Tegel amusement park, to make the areas accessible to the public again as quickly as possible. A total of 53 maintenance and felling measures are planned in the Heiligensee village meadow. The B96 is also particularly affected, where traffic safety measures are a priority. On September 11th, a strong box that had damaged a carport was secured on Egidystrasse.
Light removal of the storm damage
Despite this progress, the situation remains tense. Experts estimate that the elimination of the storm damage will take months, possibly until the next spring. A total of 180,000 trees must be checked in the parks and forests. Damage to treetops from below are often not immediately visible, which tightens the danger situation. Photos from the air show the destruction in the Tegel forest and illustrate the extent of the storm damage, such as rbb24. The estimated costs for the restoration amount to at least four million euros.
Despite the barriers, the ignorance of the citizens is a major problem. Employees of the green area office report on repeatedly broken barrier bands and the associated risks through drainage branches. Bernd Hildebrandt from the green area office urgently warns of the dangers that emerge from the damaged trees. In order to master the situation, district mayor Emine Demirbüken-Wegner asked for financial support from the Senate and asked for the help of the Bundeswehr to improve logistics and technology.
Measures to adapt to climate change
In the context of current events, the discussion about adapting to climate change is becoming increasingly important. The city trees in climate change must be documented in the long term via various instruments in order to record and monitor their condition, as shown on [environmental andaldundamt.de] (https://www.umweltbundamt.de/themen/klima-energie/klimafolgen-anpahnt/werkzeugen-derbank/stadtbaeume-klimawandel----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- siK-limaf. Specialist authorities have already taken initiatives to improve the resilience of the city trees and prevent future storm damage.
The handicraft market in Frohnau, which can take place this weekend, represents a positive signal for the population. A solution was found to hold the market on Zeltinger and Ludolfingerplatz, which underlines the social and economic stability in the district. However, it remains to be seen how the restoration work progresses and what long-term measures will be taken to ensure the safety of trees and green spaces.
