Obligation of residents to clean public pavements

In the municipality of Bremen, residents must also regularly clear sidewalks of leaves, snow and ice. The Bremen State Road Act (BremLStrG) provides information on the scope of the obligation to clear pavements.

Especially in the cold season, when the leaves fall on the sidewalks and the first snow falls, the question of sidewalk cleaning arises.
According to the law, property owners are obligated to clean the sidewalks in front of their property. This obligation can be contractually transferred to tenants or a cleaning company.
