DLRG Bezirk Bonn e.V.

About us

The German Life Saving Association (Deutsche Lebens-Rettungs-Gesellschaft e.V.) is a purely voluntary, non-profit organization with well over 900,000 members and supporters throughout Germany. It is thus the world's largest voluntary water rescue organization.

Since its foundation in Leipzig in 1913, its primary objective has been to save people from drowning. Since the founding of the district in 1927, we in Bonn have also been pursuing this ambitious goal with our commitment through active, professional work in the areas of swimming training, popular sports and water rescue services.

With our work we want to inform about dangers at and in the water and to also impart already to the youngest among us the ability to deal safely with the element water and to be able to estimate it correctly.

The DLRG Bonn currently maintains 9 swimming training centers for young and old in its district as well as a water rescue station for the water rescue service along the Rhine River in Bonn to do justice to its cause.
