Sedan. In Alt-Treptow there was an accident in Treptower Park on Wednesday in the partially frozen carp pond. Three men had climbed into an ice hole to bathe in the morning, fire department spokesman Dominik Pretz said on the morning of the Berliner Morgenpost.
According to the spokesman, one of the three bathers got under the thin ice surface and has been missing ever since. Firefighters finally discovered the man, who was only wearing a bathing suit, around 11:25 a.m. a few meters from the bank. An emergency doctor and a paramedic immediately began resuscitation measures and the unconscious man was transferred to the Charité. Its status is still unclear.
However, after several hours in the ice water, according to Pretz, the chances of reviving people decrease. He described the situation as “quite dramatic.” He also said that according to witness statements, the man was deliberately submerged. At this point, the water was said to be two or three degrees Celsius. “Beneath the ice, the condition quickly becomes life-threatening,” Pretz said. The temperatures stiffen the muscles and people would lose their way due to the ice sheet. The Berlin police are not yet aware of any indications of third party negligence. an accident, “said an official when asked about the morning post from Berlin.
The other two men had already been saved on shore when firefighters arrived. You were hypothermic, but your life is not in danger. They were treated in an ambulance. No information is available on the age of those affected. First, the fire brigade tweeted that the men had entered the ice.

One of the two ice bathers had alerted firefighters at 8:52 am via the emergency call. The fire brigade was on the scene with 52 emergency services to search for the missing person in the cold. The helpers wore special ice rescue suits. Divers from the fire service were also on the scene. Rescuers took a boat out to the lake to break the surface of the ice with a chainsaw. Two drones equipped with thermal imaging cameras also flew over the small lake. The police officers partially blocked the paths to the carp pond, which is south of the Soviet monument.
Shortly after work on the carp pond was completed, the Berlin firefighters received another emergency call. A man was said to have broken into the water at Krummen Lanke in Zehlendorf. As the firefighters informed the Berliner Morgenpost when asked, it was a false alarm.
The fire department issued another urgent warning against stepping on icy surfaces. “The ice is by no means stable,” Pretz said. There is a mortal danger if you enter. The Berlin water police also warned not to step on the ice. Neither the responsible Berlin districts nor the police would allow general entry of supposedly frozen lakes.
