Dessau-Roßlau
Snow falling or ice forming between 7 am and 8 pm must be cleared without delay once the snowfall has stopped or the ice has formed. Snow or ice occurring after 8 pm must be cleared by 7 am on weekdays, or by 9 am on Sundays and public holidays, the following day.
On pavements, a strip about 1.50 m wide is sufficient. Where there is no identifiable pavement, a 1.50 m strip along the property boundary counts as the pavement; where a road is not divided into carriageway and pavement, the duty applies to a 1.50 m verge on each side.
On pavements, except pedestrian crossings, use de-icing-free grit such as sand, chippings or expanded shale. Snow mixed with salt or de-icing agents must not be deposited there; grit must be removed promptly after the winter period.
The pavement duty for adjoining owners applies only in cleaning classes 2, 4, 5 and 9 of the street directory in the street cleaning bylaw.
The town's bylaw is authoritative: Winter service bylaw of 1 August 2023, last amended on 29 September 2025, in force since 1 November 2025
