Christoph 1, Rescue helicopter in Harlaching, Munich, Germany
Christoph 1 is an Airbus H145 helicopter operating from Munich's Harlaching clinic, equipped with advanced medical systems for emergency medical response. The aircraft serves a wide operational area across Bavaria and maintains constant readiness throughout the day.
Service began on November 1, 1970, marking Germany's first helicopter rescue operation and establishing the foundation for nationwide air ambulance networks. This pioneering project demonstrated that rapid medical delivery from the air could save lives.
The name reflects German tradition by honoring Saint Christopher, the patron saint of travelers depicted in religious imagery. This naming convention applies to rescue helicopters across German-speaking regions.
The helicopter maintains round-the-clock readiness and can take off within two minutes of receiving an emergency call. Visitors should be aware that flight operations may restrict access to certain areas of the clinic.
The aircraft is supported by a coordinated team of three pilots, 25 physicians, six paramedics, and three flight technicians linked through an SMS communication system. This structure enables rapid mobilization and coordination during emergency operations.
