Beseitigung oder Beschädigung kommunal geschützter Bäume beantragen

Municipal statute law: The legal regulations vary from municipality to municipality.

Would you like to fell a municipally protected tree or carry out pruning? Then you need a corresponding permit.

In both public and private areas, the felling or pruning of a tree may constitute a violation of municipal tree protection.

The felling or pruning of a municipally protected tree is only permitted under certain circumstances.

Ask the responsible office which documents you need to submit.

As a rule, the exact location and details of the tree itself (species, size of tree) must be included.

Prerequisites for felling or pruning may be

• the tree is diseased and has largely lost its ecological functions
• further maintenance represents an unreasonable expense for the owner.
• there is a danger to people or property

• As a rule, the application must be submitted in writing to the responsible office.
• After the application has been submitted, an on-site inspection may be carried out
• You will receive written approval

The pruning or felling of trees may only take place after the permit has been issued.

Please contact your city or municipal administration.
