threatened natural monuments: the felling of an oak in Rahnsdorf

A historically important tree is felled

In Rahnsdorf, a district of Berlin, there is a decision that moves many citizens: on the inside. A 231 -year -old oak, which is considered a natural monument, must be felled for security reasons. This oak, with a height of 28 meters, has not only served as a shadow -giving landmark in recent years, but was also an important part of the local flora.

cause of the felling

The reason for the drastic measure is a fresh crack in the oak trunk, which penetrates about one meter deep into the wood. This injury, coupled with a strong mushrooming of the tree, has led to the fact that stability is considerably endangered. This means that the oak could overturn with persistent wind or through other external influences, which is a serious danger for both passers -by and vehicles.

The role of the expert: inside

In order to assess the situation, the street and green space office became active and has commissioned an external expert who confirmed the need for the felling. In addition, experts were included in the decision in order to carefully check all possible alternatives.

effects on the community

The felling of a tree -like natural monument raises questions that go far beyond direct security. Trees play an essential role in the urban ecosystem; They offer habitat for many animal species, improve air quality and contribute to the general aesthetics of the cityscape. The loss of such a tree could emotionally burden the population and stimulate discussions about the preservation of natural monuments.

The progress of the work

On Thursday, August 22, 2024, the work for felling began. The tree crown is first discontinued, which is an important step to securely remove the trunk. The rest of the rest is felled at a later point in time to design the process in a controlled and secure manner.

conclusion: a necessary step

While the loss of such an old tree weighs heavily, it is essential to put the well -being and security of the citizens in the first place. The decision to counteract the oak in the Müggelwerder Weg is an example of how difficult decisions have to be made in harmony with nature and security. In the future, this incident could also give impetus for further discussions about the protection and maintenance of the urban green areas.
