Christoph 19, Rescue helicopter at HELIOS Klinikum Uelzen, Germany.
The Eurocopter EC 135 helicopter operates from the HELIOS Klinikum Uelzen in Lower Saxony, providing emergency medical assistance across a 60-kilometer radius.
The helicopter service began operations on September 21, 1981, under the name Phoenix 14 as part of the police helicopter unit of Lower Saxony.
A team of three professionals, including a pilot from ADAC Luftrettung, a physician from HELIOS Klinikum, and a technician from DRK-Kreisverband, staff the helicopter.
