In the Branitzer Park, the condition of the valuable tree population deteriorated drastically in 2018 and 2019 due to special climatic phenomena. The first trees had to be felled because of the damage. The park, composed with great sensitivity by Hermann Fürst von Pückler-Muskau in Branitz, is considered the last of the large German landscape gardens.
