Historic Bergisch Gladbach Black Locust Tree to Fall on October 7, 2025

Bergisch Gladbach's historic black locust tree, standing at the corner of Dellbrücker and Eschenbroich streets, faces its final days. Despite repeated care, the tree's bark continues to die and peel off, leading to its scheduled removal on October 7, 2025.

Over time, the tree has accumulated significant deadwood, necessitating frequent maintenance. However, the recent fungi infestation has caused substantial damage, compromising its stability. Experts have deemed it unsafe to leave standing. The city has planned its removal, but the name of the tree-cutting company remains private.

On October 7, 2025, the city will fell the ailing black locust tree. Its removal marks the end of an era for this once-magnificent tree, which has stood as a landmark for many years. The city will ensure the area's safety and consider planting a new tree in its place.
