Hallo, dieses Unkraut ist auf meinem Rasen aufgetaucht, anfangs nur ein paar, aber es vermehrt sich. Manchmal hat es kleine violette Blüten. Wie kann ich es am besten loswerden? Es ist ziemlich schwierig, es mitsamt der Wurzel auszureißen, und natürlich ist es zeitaufwändig, da es so klein ist. Danke

Self heal aka Prunella vulgaris.
Obviously the first question is why do you want to get rid of them? Can they not live happily in your lawn and provide much needed nectar for insects?
Otherwise dig them out and reseed the area. Or get some weed and feed and take the napalm approach. Choice is yours.
This stuff can be a nightmare. My neighbours lawn is almost entirely self-heal now. I deal with it by leaving it alone for two or three years as its quite pretty in little patches, and as already mentioned, it supports insects. Only when it gets too much do I use a single application of targeted lawn weedkiller (not weed and feed applied to the whole lawn) which knocks it back quite well. It’s not something I enjoy doing but manual removal only seems to make it grow back stronger from all the little bits you inevitably leave.
It’s also worth pointing out that this is one of the few lawn weeds that can’t really be kept in check by feeding the grass and regular mowing. It stays too low to be damaged.
Self heal flower tea is quite tasty I would just keep them
I’d kill to have self heal in my lawn.
Crossbar herbicide works and is what I use at work for the sports pitches.
