Hofheim am Taunus
Clear and grit between 7 am and 8 pm; clear without delay when snow falls, except during prolonged heavy snowfall.
Clear pavements and crossings 1.50 m wide from the property line (narrower pavements in full), plus a 1.50 m wide path from each property to the road and to the entrance. Grit these areas without delay when slippery.
Grit with sand, chippings or similar material; no ash. Salt only in small amounts at particular danger spots such as steps or steep pavements, and against compacted ice and snow, if it contains no sulphur compounds or other harmful substances.
Where only one side of the street has a pavement, frontagers on that side are responsible in odd-numbered years and those opposite in even-numbered years.

Kelkheim (Taunus)
Clear and grit between 7 am and 8 pm, and beyond these hours where significant pedestrian traffic is expected (e.g. outside cinemas or restaurants). Clear without delay when snow falls, except during prolonged heavy snowfall.
Clear pavements 1.00 m wide where local conditions allow, or a strip 1 m deep from the property line where there is no pavement, plus a 1.00 m wide path from each property to the road and to the entrance. Grit these areas when slippery.
Use mainly sand, chippings or other gritting material. Salt and chemicals only in small amounts to remove compacted ice and snow, never around the roots of trees and shrubs; do not pile salted snow on tree pits or green areas.
Where only one side has a pavement, built-on properties opposite share the duty in alternate years: in even-numbered years house numbers ending in an even digit, otherwise those ending in an odd digit. Fines from €5 to €1,000.
