Historic Liestal Garden Cleared, Sparking Safety and Preservation Concerns
A historic garden in Liestal's protected villa district has been completely cleared, sparking concern among local authorities and residents. The real estate, owned by the family of national soccer star Granit Xhaka, has seen its park-like garden reduced to bare earth, with heavy storms in late August 2025 exacerbating safety risks. Monument preservation authorities have deemed the clearing incompatible with the area's protected status.
The city of Liestal has halted further tree felling and is investigating whether the clearing was unauthorized. The garden's radical redesign has met with incomprehension from the community, with the neighborhood listed in the federal inventory of buildings worthy of protection. Generation Immobilien AG, the real estate's owners, have justified their swift action as a response to safety concerns due to the poor condition of the tree population. However, the monument preservation authorities disagree, stating that the clearing does not align with the spirit of the protected environment.
The investigation aims to determine who initiated the clearing and whether it was done in accordance with relevant laws. Possible instigators could include local residents, authorities, or environmental organizations. The public and local press are encouraged to stay informed as the situation develops.

The outcome of the investigation will determine the future of the real estate and the historic district it resides in.
