In the heart of Duisburg, on Königstrasse, a momentous occasion took place yesterday. The city centre played host to a dual celebration, marking the 50th anniversary of the rescue helicopter Christoph 9 and the 2nd Disaster Response Day.

Visitors were given the opportunity to enter and explore the iconic helicopter, offering a unique insight into the vital role it plays in emergency situations. Accompanying Christoph 9 was its predecessor model, serving as a testament to the evolution of this life-saving machine over the past five decades.

Throughout the day, all emergency services were present on Königstrasse, further emphasising the importance of these crucial organisations in our communities. The simultaneous events provided an excellent opportunity for the public to learn more about the work these services do and the equipment they utilise.

The celebration was a resounding success, with visitors expressing their appreciation for the opportunity to witness such an important part of Duisburg's history and the future of disaster response.
