Bern Beuren – the snow without end, even if in some places there is no more space was there, where the white splendour hung grants. Or if the snow physically is no longer possible: However, the legal situation is clear. There is Räumpflicht. If you don’t do yourself needs to be cared for another way.

were But in some people the nerve last blank. So also in the case of Gerhard K ÷ gel has approximately 1100 square feet large property in Bern Beuren according to own data with a length of about 40 meters on the purchase of the beurer road in the outskirts of town. The masses of Snow piled up after a few days.

The walkway remained impassable

The 52-year-old back plagued Early retirees saw at last that it is unable to remove these masses. “Even my snow blower is not”, Kögel, has turned his concerns to the local newspaper, managed the frozen quantities. And every day, as it snowed more, more came. The pavement of the road remained impassable for pedestrians. Including school children, were forced to go on the road.

After several citizens had complained and had been found in the city hall, the traffic uncertainty, came to Kögel in mid-January a Letter. The prompt, its Räumpflicht in accordance with a municipal Ordinance from the year 2007. Among other things, with the note that in the case of non-compliance with not only the cost of a single evacuation would occur, but it is also a procedure procedure is pending.

Applied E-Mails to the mayor

Kögel wrote several applied to the chief mail to the Bern beurer city hall, to the rear Brandner twice replied. Wherein each of the tone of the other “sour flung open”: Among other things, answered behind Brandner with the words: “…The urgent call for the elimination of is mainly based on that of the non-cleared footpath is also way to school, and thus a unduldbare additional risk, in particular, the primary school students from Bern Beuren. Therefore, I appeal to your understanding for the children, if the municipality is otherwise, no matter…“
