City of Darmstadt ensures traffic safety - replacement plantings with climate -resistant species planned
The science city of Darmstadt will carry out necessary tree felling in the Herrngarten from Monday, June 17, 2025. The occasion is current results from security checks, which found that there is no longer any stand or breakfootedness on several trees along the main paths. Some striking, free -standing trees must also be removed.
Security has top priority
"The security of the visitors is the top priority for us," emphasizes green area among Michael Kolmer. "Our employees regularly check the condition of the trees in the Herrngarten. Unfortunately, the current control showed that further trees have to be felled - that cannot be avoided."
The felling work is gradually carried out in the weeks after June 17th. They are carried out by the green space office in compliance with all nature conservation requirements.
Replacements with a view to climate change
Targeted replacement plantings are planned at the affected areas. Climate -adapted tree species are to be used, which fit well into the landscape of the Herrngartens and receive the park as a green oasis in the long term.
Kolmer explains: "We are already thinking of the next planting periods. We not only want to replace the new tree species, but also make the Herrngarten Future -Find."
Understanding for measures requested
The science city of Darmstadt asks all park visitors for understanding the restrictions during the work. The measures are without alternative for reasons of traffic safety.
