Water police rescues group from the weir pillar of the lock in Offenbach
The two patrol crews of the Frankfurt water police were able to rescue the three people unscathed on the water side of the foundation or in the underwater at 6:35 p.m. with a light patrol boat. Immediately afterwards, the group was dropped off on the premises of the Offenbach lock.
The three people had previously climbed the pillar from the weir footbridge down to the foundation and could not get away from there without outside help. All three people are now awaiting a report because they have stepped on the weir pillar. (acg)
Swimming in rivers like the Main is very dangerous, as the DLRG knows. It is therefore important to follow certain rules when you are in the water.
