Visiting the '999' trees

Since August 2025

The numbered trees

The trees in Berlin are numbered. Here is a wonderful map with the trees and their numbers, and here the data can be downloaded. There are inconsistencies between both data sets though.

As a hobby I'm visiting the trees with the number 999 and take a photo each. This is where they are:

No success

Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf

The Waldschulallee tree isn’t accessible since it is on a school property.

Neukölln

The tree at Friedhof Columbiadamm is cut down, the stump was found. The tree at BBR-Grünanlage was fallen over, the root stock was overgrown with ivy.

The trees at Park am Buschkrug-Spielplatz II and Fritz-Reuter-Allee-Grünanlage didn't have their numbers.

Pankow

There is data inconsistency and no pinned numbers in the 999 area of trees at Schlosspark Buch.

The white pine at Ernst-Thälmann-Park and the Norway maple at Schlosspark Schönhausen didn't have their number tags.

Tempelhof-Schöneberg

The suspected tree at Insulaner didn't have its number tag.
