Bergisch Gladbach to Fell Unsafe Black Locust Tree on Oct 7

Bergisch Gladbach is set to remove a tree at the intersection of Dellbrücker Straße and Eschenbroicher Straße on October 7, 2025. The decision follows years of deterioration due to fungal damage and increased deadwood.

The tree's health has declined over time, with significant damage caused by various fungal species. Larger areas of its bark have died and peeled off, contributing to its instability. Despite repeated maintenance efforts, the city can no longer guarantee the tree's safety. On Thursday, October 7, 2025, the tree will be felled to ensure public safety.

The felling of the tree is a necessary measure to maintain safety in the city area. The tree's instability, caused by fungal damage and deadwood, has made its removal inevitable. The city will continue to monitor and maintain its urban forest to ensure the well-being of its residents.
