Request removal of or damage to municipally protected trees

• 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

Please contact your city or municipal administration.

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

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.

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

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