Similar dramatic scenes occurred at the same time at Mosbach in Baden-Württemberg, where the search for a 27-year-old missing swimmer was set. The man had disappeared on Friday after a bath in the Neckar. The police and rescue workers had searched for him with a large contingent since Friday evening. Among other things, a drone, a police helicopter and a specially trained water search dog were used.

The police assume that the man is "probably drowned". After a short sightseeing near the Obrigheim bank, he finally got out of the eyes of a friend. The search continued in a reduced form on Saturday, but without success. The hope of the police is now on other eyewitnesses that may be able to provide relevant information.

rescue operations and bathing accidents in Germany

The increase in bathing accidents is not only worrying in Austria or Baden-Württemberg. In Germany, statistics show that the number of drowned bathing accidents increases steadily. Last year, over 400 people drowned in German waters, which represents an increase of 31 cases compared to the previous year. The German Lebens-Rettungsgesellschaft (DLRG) warns that many people are increasingly bathing in unpleasant waters due to the closure of swimming pools and increasing prices.

An example of the urgency of a quick reaction in bathing accidents is an incident at Fühlinger See in Cologne, where a fire brigade diver saved a motionless man who finally turned out to be an exercise. This illustrates the importance of well -trained rescue workers and the fast care of those affected. Ulrich Laschet from the Cologne professional fire brigade emphasizes that first aiders and fast emergency calls are decisive for the outcome of such operations.

The emergency services appeal to all parents to keep an eye on their children when bathing. The current incidents impressively commemorate the risks that can exist when swimming in water, and the need to act proactively in order to secure the well -being of the bathers.
