Giant tree in the Rautenstrauch Park: traffic safety at risk!

trier. On Wednesday, October 16, a blood book that has grown over 170 years in the Trier Rautenstrauch Park will be felled. The city of Trier announced this decision on Friday. The tree has lost vitality in recent years, which is due to climate change and urban location conditions.

In addition, the tree has been infected by various wood -decaying fungi. In order to ensure security for passers -by and visitors, the tree had to be trimmed regularly. The experts from Stadtgrün Trier and an external expert carried out a so -called train attempt to check the stability of the tree. The result was clear: security could no longer be guaranteed, which is why the tree is now essential.

The condition of the tree and its meaning

over time, the once magnificent blood beech has been weakened more and more. Experts emphasize that the combination of climate changes and urbanization has made a significant contribution to the fact that the tree is so endangered. Trees in urban areas are often exposed to higher stress factors, including pollutants and changes in the microclimate that can affect their growth.

It is unfortunate to fell such an old tree that was part of the cityscape for many generations. However, these measures are intended to serve the security of the citizens and prevent unforeseen dangers from assuming the heavily damaged tree. The city administration has therefore also decided to block the park during the felling work on Wednesday to ensure security for all visitors.

Although the fall of the tree is an emotional cut for many, it is considered a necessary step to minimize the risk of accidents. After the felling work, possible new plantings could also be considered in the future to revitalize the urban green and create other natural habitats.

The background to this decision is comprehensible and once again show the challenges with which urban trees are confronted. The city of Trier has adapted to this Situation and will continue to work with experts to protect the security and well -being of the citizens.
