Christoph 49, Rescue helicopter in Bad Saarow, Germany
Christoph 49 is a rescue helicopter operating from Helios Clinic Bad Saarow, dispatched to medical emergencies across the region. The aircraft carries a pilot, a physician, and a technical crew member to deliver rapid medical assistance and transport services.
The rescue helicopter service began in 1990 with Bell UH-1D and Mi-8 aircraft operated by the German Air Force SAR rescue center. The fleet has since evolved with modern aircraft to better meet regional medical emergency needs.
The name Christoph 49 comes from Saint Christopher, following the German custom of naming rescue helicopters after the patron saint of travelers.
The aircraft is operational daily starting at 7:00 AM until sunset, enabling rapid response to medical emergencies across the service area. Visitors should know that exact operational hours may vary with seasons and weather conditions.
The current Airbus Helicopters H135 T3 includes specialized equipment for neonatal transport, allowing medical teams to transfer infants in incubators. This capability makes it an essential tool for critical medical transfers of newborns across the region.
