Frankfurt (Oder)
Snow and ice arising between 7 am and 8 pm must be removed without delay; after 8 pm, by 7 am on weekdays and by 9 am on Sundays and public holidays the following day.
Keep pavements clear of snow to a width of 1.50 m, narrower ones in full, and grit them when icy; pavements wider than 4.00 m with heavy foot traffic, as listed in the street register, to at least 3.00 m. Do not move ice and snow from properties onto the pavement or carriageway.
Salt and other de-icing agents are generally banned on pavements, allowed only in exceptional cases such as freezing rain or at particularly dangerous spots such as steps, ramps, bridge approaches and steep slopes. Never salt tree pits or planted areas or pile salty snow on tree pits.
Owners are responsible for winter service on pavements; on the carriageway the city handles it in streets marked W 1 or W 2 in the street cleaning register, while in streets marked A it lies entirely with the owners. Breaches: fine of up to €1,000.
The town's bylaw is authoritative: Street cleaning bylaw of 5 December 2025, in force since 1 January 2026
