Starnberg - As soon as the first leaves fall, leaf blowers and leaf vacuums are used again.

The city of Starnberg urgently advises against the use of these devices and calls on public institutions and private households to voluntarily use brooms and rakes. 

It goes without saying that the city administration is setting a good example and has been replacing these noisy tools with brooms that are environmentally friendly and gentle on nerves since 2012.

The depot uses electric leaf blowers for areas that are difficult to access, in areas where brooms and rakes are not helpful.


The city of Starnberg advises sweeping the leaves under the bushes or in the beds for the winter.

It provides shelter for small animals over winter and valuable humus is created in spring.

In addition, the soil is better protected against drying out or extreme temperatures.


If you still don't want to do without the help of a leaf blower or vacuum, it is best to buy an electrical device and use it sensibly and not longer than absolutely necessary.

House and garden work that disrupts the quiet may only be carried out on working days from Monday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 12.30 p.m., from Monday to Friday from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. and on Saturday from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.
