Fence on Borsigplatz: protective measures against stumbling blocks in Heiligensee

Borsigplatz: Security measures to protect residents

The Borsigplatz in Heiligensee has been the focus of security measures since the end of last week that have essential changes for residents. The decision to delimit the place with a fence was made due to serious security concerns, which were caused by considerable bumps in the soil. These bumps are the result of growing tree roots that have raised the stone floor panels of the square.

During a recent inspection, it was shown that not only some of the floor slabs are unstable, but also represent dangerous stumbling blocks for passers -by. These findings underline the importance of immediate measures to ensure the safety of all users of the square.

The district councilor for order, environment and transport, Julia Schrod-Thiel from the CDU, emphasized the importance of cooperation between the street and green space office and the urban development office. These institutions work on a plan to straighten the plates, with both the monument protection regulations for the laid slate plates and the majestic chestnut trees that frame the space strictly must be observed.

This Situation on Borsigplatz is another example of the challenges with which urban areas are confronted when it comes to receiving infrastructure and at the same time the protection of the environment. The maintenance work not only improves the security of the citizens, but also contributed to the long -term preservation of historical elements of the square.

The measures are implemented without much delay to minimize future risks and to promote community life on Borsigplatz. It is to be hoped that such initiatives will also find imitation in other parts of Berlin in order to increase traffic safety and quality of life in urban rooms.
