In snowy and icy conditions, the sidewalks and dangerous roadways must be cleared by the residents of adjacent properties and gritted with sand or other de-icing agents. The winter service must be carried out on weekdays from 7.00 am to 8.00 pm and on Sundays and public holidays from 9.00 am to 8.00 pm.

Harmful chemicals may not be used - road salt only in exceptional cases. Such an exceptional case exists in dangerous places on footpaths and cycle paths or if the slipperiness cannot be sufficiently removed by other means and with reasonable effort. Tree grates and green areas may not be sprinkled with road salt and snow containing salt may not be stored on them.

Footpaths must be cleared of snow to a width of at least 1.50 m and gritted in icy conditions. If there is no sidewalk, a 1.50 m wide strip next to or at the edge of the roadway must be kept clear. In addition, gutters and inlet shafts must be kept free of snow and ice so that melt water can drain away unhindered.

Snow and ice must not be stored in such a way as to endanger traffic on the roadway, cycle path or sidewalk. Snow must also not be swept towards the neighbor. Residues of gritting material must be removed when the danger of slipperiness no longer exists. A violation of the winter road clearance regulations constitutes an administrative offense that can be punished with a fine.
