Lake District Report Originating from PP Ravensburg
In an unexpected turn of events, an emergency situation unfolded on Lake Constance near the picturesque town of Kressbronn am Bodensee on Thursday, August 7, 2025. The distress call, received around 19:45, reported a sinking motorboat.
The Ravensburg Police Headquarters, with jurisdiction over the Lake Constance District, swiftly took charge of the situation. The Water Protection Police (Wasserschutzpolizei) from Friedrichshafen led the rescue efforts, with forces from nearby fire departments, DLRG, a rescue helicopter, and local authorities joining the operation.
Fortunately, no lake water entered the boat during the incident, and no pollutants were released into the lake. The stranded boat was successfully towed to the Langenargen yacht harbor after a towline was established.
Upon investigation, it was revealed that the boat's emergency had been caused by a malfunction in the cooling system in the bilge of the engine room. The boat owners had panicked after seeing white smoke and a large amount of water when they opened the engine hatch, mistakenly believing the boat was flooding.
Thankfully, no injuries or property damage were reported as a result of the incident. The Ravensburg Police Headquarters, responsible for the safety and security of the Lake Constance District, managed the emergency situation effectively, ensuring a positive outcome for all involved.
