Storm chaos in Steglitz-Zehlendorf: trees fall, parks blocked!
On July 1, 2025, there were devastating storms in Germany and especially on the Bavarian shore of Lake Constance, which caused numerous damage. In the Steglitz-Zehlendorf district in Berlin, the citizens were first asked to avoid public parks and cemeteries. This measure is intended to prevent them from being damaged in dangerous places, such as trees at risk. The heavy storms have already led to at least 20 street trees overturned.
In Steglitz-Zehlendorf, starry and crown breaks were found on a total of 75 street trees. The parks in Zehlendorf are also affected; 40 trees did not withstand there, while in the parks in Steglitz ten trees overturned and several brims occurred. There were also 10 fallen trees and numerous branches of branches in urban cemeteries. Specialist companies and urban employees were commissioned to remedy the damage, whereby the determination of all damage can take some time. Uncertainty about the traffic -proof state of the trees is still still there, since many breaks only become visible when the leaves become brown.
serious damage to Lake Constance
In parallel to the events in Berlin, a heavy thunderstorm was registered on the Bavarian shore of Lake Constance, which particularly hit the campsite in Lindau-Zech. Around 700 people had to be evacuated here because the storm caused devastation. Several people were reportedly injured, including six, one of whom is severely affected. Holidaymakers were brought to the nearby island hall by bus and spent the night there.The gusts of wind reached wind speeds of up to 144 km/h, which led to considerable damage to cars and motorhomes. Individual streets such as Lindenhofweg, Eichwaldstraße and Giebelbachstrasse are closed due to fallen trees. For safety, the city has closed its parks, playgrounds, cemeteries and sports fields to protect the population from acute branches of branch. The police have already started to check the stability of the trees.
a global phenomenon
These extreme weather events are part of a larger trend that the world has to experience in recent years. According to Statista , natural disasters are caused by weather phenomena or geological activities and increase in frequency and intensity due to climate change. Storms such as the Hurricanes Helene and Milton in 2024 caused enormous devastation in the USA and list the list of the most expensive natural disasters. Such events have serious effects on the life of those affected and the economic state of many regions worldwide.
during Germany and in particular the region around Lake Constance suffer from the consequences of the recent storm, it is important to promote mindfulness and caution in dealing with natural events and to put the safety of the population in the top.
