honor for Ralf Zimmermann

At the same time, Ralf Zimmermann was recognized by the German Life Rettungs Society (DLRG) Bad Zwischenahn for his many years of operation. Ralf has been an indispensable figure on the Zwischenahner Meer for over 40 years, where, as a lifeguard, he did a large number of hours of volunteer work at the water rescue service. He succeeded the long -time chairman Ewald Freese, and under his direction the DLRG Bad Zwischenahn experienced an upswing, which resulted in both new initiatives and a growing participant interest in events such as the popular "across the sea". This event attracts numerous swimmers and spectators year after year and conveys the feeling of community and cohesion. In addition, Ralf is a central figure in the public relations work of the DLRG, which helps to make the initiatives and success of the lifesavers known, as the CDU Bad Zwischenahn emphasized in a contribution.
