Trees give way for new water pipe in Wegedornstrasse

A bitter fate for the trees of the Wegedornstrasse! In the course of urgent work by the Berlin water operations, four magnificent trees must give way to the construction project. The decision has been determined and the street and green space office has given its approval.

The reason for this drastic measure? The replacement of the old main drinking water! In order to make space for the deep trenches that will soon be excavated, the tree felling is simply unavoidable. This scenario not only leads to the loss of the trees, but also requires the clearing of shrubs and massive crown cuts. However, the damage is reduced to a minimum - and the most important thing: the loss of value caused by the felling is financially compensated for!

urgent measures for water supply

The Berlin water operations do not act lightly. The measure is necessary to secure the drinking water supply in the region. Old lines must be replaced by new, safe and powerful systems so that residents can continue to be supplied with fresh water in the future.

a difficult step for the city park

But the measures do not come without an outcry from environmentalists and residents. The loss of trees that are decades old is a painful loss for many. City green is comfortable, shade and beautiful - and now it is brutally cropped! How will that affect the overall picture of Wegedornstrasse? This concern hovers in the air.
