Dramatic rescue campaigns on Lake Constance: Segelboat Kentert, surfers in danger!

Bodensee, Deutschland - On June 15, 2025, there was a double effort on Lake Constance, between Radolfzell and Iznang. According to [fireworld.at] (https://www.fireworld.at/2025/06/d-doppelter- Einlter-auf-dem-dembodensee-fuer-Fuer-Feuerwehr-radolfzell/), the emergency services of the DLRG, the fire brigade and the water protection police were alerted after a sailboat was captured and several surfer were reported in need.

The emergency services reacted immediately and made their way to the scene of the accident with several boats. The surfers could be found within a short time. They were good and did not need help. At the same time, the capsized sailboat was localized, the crew of which was also unharmed and was brought ashore by another boat.

rescue measures

The fire brigade and the DLRG were responsible for the rescue of the sailboat. They straightened up the capsized boat, pumped it out and then dragged it into the harbor. This use illustrates the significant role of the water rescue services, which are regulated in Baden-Württemberg by the emergency services law (RDG). The water rescue service (WRD) is a fixed task, the measures for life rescue and in water, as Bez-bodensee-konstanz.dlrg.de reports.

The legal basis of the emergency services enables non -profit organizations to act independently, which is shown in the quick reaction and professionalia of the forces used. In order to be ready at any time, extensive equipment is kept that allows the rescue teams to operate around the clock via the integrated rescue control center.

history and outlook

The successful coordination and implementation of such operations is crucial for safety on the water, especially during the summer months when many people operate water sports. Such incidents such as that on June 15, 2025 underline the need for regular training and operations of the water rescue services, which also offer accompanying measures for regattas and other water sports activities. Laut bild.de ist die Verantwortung für die Sicherheit auf dem Wasser eine Aufgabe, die weiterhin im Mittelpunkt der Wasserrettungsdienste stehen wird.
