Four missions at once: The water rescuers on Lake Starnberg mastered this task with flying colors on Saturday.
Two sailors were in a particularly precarious situation.
District - The volunteer forces were alerted in parallel to four missions on Lake Starnberg late on Saturday afternoon - and that during heavy rain, storms and thunderstorms.
“Everyone involved worked together very well, including from the control center in Fürstenfeldbruck.
Everything worked smoothly, so it wasn't difficult for me to coordinate, ”said Claus Schramm, operations manager from DLRG Pöcking-Starnberg, when asked by the Starnberger Merkur.
Starnberger See: Sailors capsize in storms
The two who capsized in their sailing boat off Percha were in the most dangerous situation.
The Starnberg water rescue had to rescue them from the water, brought them ashore and towed their boat.
Jürgen Temmler, the head of the rescue service, reports: "After an examination, you enjoyed a warm shower at the water rescue service and were then able to go home."
Storm at Lake Starnberg: sails torn
A total of around 30 workers were deployed between 5 p.m. and 6.30 p.m. - including from the water police from Feldafing, Tutzing and Wolfratshausen.
A boat belonging to a sailing club had capsized in front of Leoni.
“But they were able to help themselves with a safety boat,” says Schramm.
In front of Possenhofen the rescuers met a sailing boat with a torn sail, but no one was in danger.
Just like in the area of the Seeburg in front of Weipertshausen.
The emergency services dragged this unsailing boat to the other bank to Possenhofen.
