The Japanese knotweed was once introduced to Europe from Japan as a potential crop, but the invasive species seems to have become a problem at Lake Groß Glienicke. Despite intensive control in coordination with the town hall, no weed has grown against the knotweed for years on a certain piece of land, wrote the city councilor Andreas Menzel (BVB/Freie Wahler) recently in a small inquiry.
He therefore wanted to know from the Parks Department who owned the property and what the city could do to permanently remove knotweed and similar species. In the answer, the office recently stated that the city does not have a list of the “inventory of invasive plant species”, that the property in question has belonged to the Federal Agency for Real Estate Tasks since 2020 and that the only measure against knotweed & Co. “regular digging, tearing out and mowing”.
