Christoph Rheinland

Christoph Rheinland is a rescue helicopter station at Cologne Bonn Airport that operates an H145 aircraft for emergency medical services in the surrounding region. The helicopter carries specialized medical personnel and equipment to transport patients quickly to hospitals.

The station was established by ADAC Luftrettung as part of Germany's rescue helicopter network. It grew out of the need for rapid air rescue services across the Cologne and Bonn region.

The station works closely with nearby hospitals and emergency responders through regular joint training exercises. This cooperation ensures coordinated and rapid medical assistance when accidents or health crises occur in the region.

The station operates during daylight hours and covers a response area of approximately 50 to 70 kilometers in radius. Patient transport is guaranteed when weather conditions allow flight operations.

The crew delivers medical treatment during flight and can stabilize patients before reaching the hospital. This in-flight care capability saves critical time in serious cases.
