Clear the pavement 1 m wide along the most used strip, 2 m wide on busy pavements, pedestrian streets and traffic-calmed zones. Where there is no pavement, keep a strip at least 1 m wide clear on the road.
Grit the full width of the pavement with sand, chippings or other suitable gritting material, repeated as needed. Salt and chemical de-icers only in black ice or freezing rain.
The public street cleaning service does not clear or grit pavements; this duty is transferred to the frontagers.

Griesheim
Clear and grit between 7 am and 8 pm, without delay whenever it snows, except during persistent heavy snowfall.
Clear pavements and crossings wide enough that traffic is not obstructed more than unavoidable; in icy conditions grit pavements across their full width and depth. Clear an access at least 1.25 m wide to the road and to the property entrance.
Grit mainly with sand, chippings and similar material. Salt only in small amounts at particular danger spots such as steps or steep pavements, and against compacted ice and snow residues.
Where there is a pavement on one side only, owners on the pavement side are responsible in years ending in an even number, owners on the opposite side in years ending in an odd number.
