Tree felling in Eberswalde: Safety first – renovation will start soon!

Tree felling in Eberswalde: Safety first – renovation will start soon!

There will be some tree felling in Eberswalde from July 28, 2025, which will not be without consequences for residents and everyone who travels along Fritz-Weineck-Straße. As part of planned sidewalk and street renovation work, several damaged lime trees must be razed to the ground. The affected section extends between Schulstrasse and Schönholzer Strasse, and the decision to fell it was made after an independent tree expert report that found significant damage to the trees. These trees are neither stable nor vital, which is essential for reasons of traffic safety and the development of road space. This is reported by barnim-aktuell.de.

The commissioned report clearly shows that the affected lime trees pose a danger. From the 31st calendar week - specifically after July 28th - the tree felling will probably take several days. Despite the sad news, there is a ray of hope: After the work is completed, it is planned to replant the site appropriately in order to restore the green character of Fritz-Weineck-Straße. Healthy young trees near Schulstrasse will be preserved and should continue to support the greening of the street.

Operation with local expertise

The company that will carry out the felling is the renowned tree sawyer from Eberswalde. They specialize in tree care and tree felling and have a competent team. The specialists include European Tree Workers, arborists and FLL-certified tree inspectors who work with high-quality equipment. They are able to act safely and without damage using rope climbing technology or lifting platforms, even in complicated cases. What remains is the hope that the work will be carried out quickly and professionally.

Rules for tree felling in urban areas

An important aspect that needs to be taken into account are the legal regulations surrounding tree protection. Trees can be protected by municipal tree protection regulations, development plans or as natural monuments. As bund-naturschutz.de reports, the felling of protected trees is generally prohibited unless official approval is available. However, in cases of acute danger, as appears to be the case here, felling is permitted.

Anyone who has inquiries or concerns about planned tree felling should contact the responsible building and green spaces authorities. With the upcoming work on Fritz-Weineck-Straße, a further step will be taken to ensure traffic safety and improve the infrastructure in Eberswalde. Despite the sadness over the loss of the lime trees, the new plantings promise a new green future for the street in the near future.
