Overview

• Brandenburg’s Health Minister Britta Müller visited the Senftenberg ADAC Luftrettung station on August 18 and declared the region exceptionally well served by air rescue.
• She highlighted the base’s ability to reach any location in the broad Lausitz area within 20 minutes to underline rapid response capability.
• The facility fields two helicopters and a crew of about 60 staff who complete roughly 2,300 missions each year.
• Senftenberg is the largest of ADAC’s 38 air-rescue stations nationwide, reinforcing its central role in regional emergency coverage.
• Müller’s tour focused on affirming existing readiness rather than announcing new policies after ADAC’s national mission count fell 4.5% in 2024 due to telemedicine use and expanded paramedic roles.
