Christoph 22, Rescue helicopter in Baden-Württemberg, Germany
Christoph 22 is a rescue helicopter based on an Airbus H145 that operates across Baden-Württemberg with advanced medical equipment onboard for emergency response. The aircraft serves primarily for rapid assistance during accidents and medical emergencies throughout the region.
Germany established Christoph 22 as part of a nationwide helicopter rescue network that was built starting in the 1970s to address growing needs for emergency medical care. This system grew out of the recognition that remote and rural areas needed rapid response capability.
The name Christoph comes from Saint Christopher, the patron saint of travelers, which is the naming tradition for all rescue helicopters in German-speaking countries. This choice reflects how the emergency services honor their role in protecting people on the move.
The helicopter is based in Baden-Württemberg and can reach accident sites within a short timeframe after emergency calls are received. Visitors should remember that weather conditions and operational demands mean the aircraft must be ready for deployment at any moment.
The aircraft uses a fenestron tail rotor system that is significantly quieter than traditional rotors and improves safety during hospital landings. This technology makes the helicopter less intrusive for medical staff and patients on the ground.
