Vandalism at the Schwanenteich: Brutally sawn off two trees!

Schwanenteich, Bernau, Deutschland - Bernau: A shocking act of destruction recently caused outrage in the Schwanenteich park. Two young black Erlen, who reached a height of five to six meters, were brutally sawn off on the south bank. Jürgen Brinckmann, head of the city's infrastructure office, explained that the trees were simply removed 60 centimeters above the ground and the upper parts hung in the tree connections. What remains are only dub -like remnants that must now be replaced.

"It is completely incomprehensible to us who does this," said Brinckmann. The team around him has invested with a lot of commitment, resources and time in maintaining the green infrastructure to improve the ecosystem around the city pond. These alder trees not only wore for embellishment, but should also serve as a shadow dispenser for the surrounding benches. The property damage caused is estimated at around 3,500 euros, which makes the dimension of the damage clear.

previous incidents

vandalism is not the first time that this area is affected. Another alder in the same region was damaged at the end of May, which led to replanting a new tree. These repeated attacks on the city's green infrastructure raise questions about the background of such acts. The police must now clarify who is responsible for this damage.

The responsible company, Kasper-tree and garden, had both planted and cared for in 2022 in 2022. This included watering, testing the stability and necessary adjustments to the belts. This committed care is now questioned by vandalism, and the city is faced with the task of removing the damage and possibly introducing additional safety measures.

The effects of such actions are not only financial in nature, but also affect the community that is enjoying the green areas. It remains to be seen how the investigation progresses and what measures are taken to prevent future incidents. While the stubs of the destroyed trees remain for the time being, the damage is considered a sign of disrespect against nature and the commitment of the city. Details about this incident are still sparse, but reports barnim-aktuell.de that the responsible authorities have already become active.
