Winter warning: Safety in Tempelhof-Schöneberg's green areas

In winter there is a great danger that snow and smooth areas over the entire city area of Berlin will cause chaos! The street and green area office from Tempelhof-Schöneberg has now urged: There is no legal obligation on public green spaces to clear snow and ice! Yes, you heard right! Anyone who survives winter temperatures must be aware: the cold season brings with it its own risks!

For everyone who is on the go: the use of the sidewalks is at your own risk! The city of Berlin remains damage -free in the event of accidents and damage resulting from the slippery conditions. That means suitable winter boots are an absolute must if you want to defy the winter! If the sidewalks icy or covered snow, caution is advised!

Winter service for cyclists: The BSR is released!

But not only pedestrians have to be careful! The Berlin city cleaning (BSR) has taken responsibility for cyclists! Quite right - the normal cycle paths are cleared by the winter service vehicles! And that's not all: there are even special vehicles for the protected cycling strips! Here wet salt or brine are distributed here, especially at intersections and stops - exactly where most of it can happen!

In extreme weather conditions, there is even scattered! Anyone who believes that it is only a little thing is mistaken! The BSR does everything to enable cyclists to drive safely! But note: The law only provides for snow removal, not the smoothing! Take a close look when you are on the road!

The duties of the residents: statutory winter service obligations!

Do you have a property? Then watch out! Residents are legally obliged to free their sidewalks from snow and ice cream! Anyone who misses this must expect a punishment. Administrative offenses due to a lack of winter service are not uncommon!

If you need more information, you should visit the BSR website! The Berlin winter is tricky, and only those who are well informed can surely come through the cold season!
