Christoph Brandenburg, Air ambulance helicopter station in Senftenberg, Germany.
Christoph Brandenburg is an air ambulance station operating a modern H145 helicopter with a five-blade rotor system for medical transport and emergency response. The aircraft is crewed by experienced teams trained to transport patients rapidly to specialized medical facilities.
Air rescue operations began in 1994 with a BK 117 helicopter and evolved through several aircraft generations. The current H145 model entered service in 2022, modernizing operational capabilities.
The helicopter is named after Saint Christopher, the patron saint of travelers and transportation, following German air rescue naming customs. This reflects the protective role the service plays in medical emergencies.
The station operates around the clock with medical personnel from Klinikum Niederlausitz-Senftenberg to provide rapid patient response. The landing area is restricted for safety reasons and not accessible to the public.
The station conducts cross-border operations into Poland and Czech Republic, supporting medical transfers between neighboring countries. This international coordination allows patients to reach the nearest appropriate medical facility regardless of national boundaries.
