After the fall of the Berlin Wall, we sign a contract with the first freely elected government on August 17, 1990 to set up air rescue services in the GDR. Together with the East German authorities, our subsidiary DRF and ADAC set up 11 air rescue centers. After reunification, however, the German government declares the contract null and void and the cooperation is dissolved. However, the federal government was unable to establish an air rescue service on its own and commissioned the DRF with the Dresden Air Rescue Center. This is followed by the centers for Zwickau, Greifswald, Chemnitz, Suhl, Bad Berka and Halle.
