North Rhine-Westphalia: Property Owners Urged to Maintain Greenery for Safety
Property owners in North Rhine-Westphalia are reminded of their responsibility to maintain greenery on their premises. Dead or sick trees should be removed, and plants should not encroach into public road spaces. Pruning is crucial for safety and is the responsibility of the citizen.

The city of Euskirchen's road authority can arrange for pruning in cases of acute danger, with costs billed to the respective property owners. However, property owners are obligated to prune back regularly to ensure safety and prevent liability for accidents.
Pruning should be done to keep streetlights' light cones clear, traffic signs visible, and sight triangles at intersections unobstructed. It is ideal to prune from October to the end of February. Unpruned greenery extending into public traffic areas is considered an unauthorized special use and is prohibited.
