This is us

Through its members and branches, the German Life Saving Association is the largest, voluntary and leading water rescue organization in Germany, Europe and the world. The German Life Saving Association was founded in Leipzig in 1913 to save people from drowning.

Our core tasks include swimming and lifeguard training, education about water hazards and water rescue services.
