Villingen-Schwenningen's Parks and Roads Department is set to remove trees from the Villinger Ring facilities on October 17. The action is crucial for maintaining the historic city wall's stability and ensuring public safety.

A specialized company will undertake the tree removal task. The decision follows concerns that some trees are dying, decaying, or cannot be revitalized despite previous pruning. Additionally, certain trees are compromising the stability of the historic city wall, posing a risk of long-term damage. The removal is also necessary for traffic safety and to protect pedestrians from potential hazards like falling branches or instability.
