Tree crime in Fellbach: 43,000 euros in damage and no suspect yet!
In Fellbach, a town in the Rems-Murr district, a devastating case of tree damage is causing great concern and incomprehension. In recent weeks, trees on private property and in vineyards have been specifically damaged. The most recent incident occurred on Kappelberg, where several almond trees, birches and other tree species were felled or severely damaged. In addition, branches from larger trees were cut off, smaller trees felled and young plants torn from the ground. This led to an estimated total damage of around 43,000 euros, which is classified as a “mid-high five-digit range”, according to the Aalen police headquarters Stuttgart News.
The Fellbach city administration responded to these crimes by offering a reward of 1,000 euros for information that could help identify the perpetrators. Mayor Beatrice Soltys and Mayor Gabriele Zull expressed concern about the destructiveness and ecological consequences of these acts. The damage could affect the environment for many years. The city is also in the process of planning replanting, but this is not possible everywhere, depending on the age and size of the damaged trees SWR.
Background and investigations
The police have launched several investigations into property damage and dangerous interference with road traffic. It is still unclear whether the various incidents - for example the deforestation in front of a kindergarten - are connected to one another. There is currently no suspect for the crimes, which also took place in other areas of the city, including schools and public spaces. This is causing frustration and anger among local winegrowers who are fighting to preserve biodiversity. Affected citizens are asked for help and can report information directly to the Fellbach police station on 0711/57720.
In summary, the incidents on Kappelberg and other parts of Fellbach show an alarming tendency towards the destruction of nature and habitat. The city and the police are hoping for information from the public to bring the perpetrators to justice and prevent further damage.
