Trees must be felled for safety reasons

In the coming week, from March 4 to 8, 2024, some trees will be felled in the Berlin district of Rahnsdorf and in Niederschöneweide. The measure is necessary to ensure traffic safety. In the Rahnsdorf, a tree will be felled in the Bauernheideweg on March 4, 2024. It is a linden tree with the tree no. 17/1, a trunk diameter of 207 cm and a height of 21 m. The precipitation is required due to the stem and rootstock mechanism, fungal attack and threatening risk of overthrow

in Niederschöneweide, another tree will be felled on March 7, 2024 on the playground on Britzer Strasse. There is no further information about the exact details of this tree and the reasons for the precipitation. However, such measures are often necessary to ensure the security of the citizens and prevent damage to buildings or public areas.

It is important that the street and green space office regularly checks trees and falls professionally if necessary in order to avoid accidents. The trees in urban areas play an important role in the city climate and the quality of life of the residents. Therefore, it is also important that in the event of a tree falling, it is always considered by replacement plantings in order to compensate for the loss of green areas.

It remains to be hoped that the felling of the trees can guarantee traffic safety in Rahnsdorf and Niederschöneweide and that replacement plantings will soon be made to maintain the green in the districts.
