CEO Orders Removal of Flower Pots from Street - Herrenknecht CEO Sparks Row Over Removed Flower Pots

Martin Herrenknecht, CEO of Herrenknecht AG, has sparked controversy in Schwanau, Baden, after ordering the removal of 1800 flowers from a public road. The incident has raised concerns about traffic safety and the practicality of traffic calming measures. Herrenknecht, a specialist manufacturer of tunnel boring machines, believes the flowers posed a hazard, particularly for larger vehicles and during shift changes at his company. He ordered their removal, which was initially registered by the police in Offenburg and later reported to the public prosecutor's office under the charge of 'theft'. The removed 1800 flowers were taken to the premises of Herrenknecht AG, but the exact number remains unclear. Herrenknecht supports the introduction of 30 mph zones to improve traffic safety but has concerns about the practical implementation of traffic calming measures in Schwanau. The incident has sparked debate about traffic safety and the role of local authorities in implementing traffic calming measures. Herrenknecht's concerns about practical implementation are valid, but the method used to address the issue has raised questions and legal concerns.
