Christoph Gießen, Rescue helicopter station in Gießen, Germany

The Christoph Gießen helicopter station operates with modern Airbus H145 and H155 aircraft for both emergency responses and intensive care transfers.

The station began operations in 1996 at Reichelsheim airfield before relocating to its current location in Gießen's Margaretenhütte industrial district.

The station represents the evolution of German air medical services through its integration of dual-use capabilities for both emergency and transfer missions.

The facility maintains round-the-clock operations with a response time of 2 minutes during daylight hours and 15 minutes for night missions.

The station's service area extends across multiple German states, including Hessen, Rhineland-Palatinate, and northern Bavaria, with capabilities for international transfers.
