Tragic bathing accident: 72-year-old dead from Großensee

A dramatic weekend at the Grossensee: On Friday evening, September 6th, the body of a 72-year-old man from Stormarn was found lifeless. This tragic incident follows an elaborate search that was heralded on Thursday after the man's partner had reported him missing. What had happened?

Emergency forces of the police were quickly used and started a large -scale search that was initially unsuccessful. With the help of drones, boats and divers, the rescuers tirelessly searched for the man on the night of September 5. But their efforts were initially unsuccessful. The disappointment was great, but the police received a decisive indication of the use of funeral dogs, which finally led to the discovery of the body.

Scary finds on the Grossensee

The missing car of the missing person had already been discovered in the vicinity of the Grossensee, accompanied by personal objects in a bay. A police spokesman said: "We assumed that he might have gone to swimming." However, despite these clues, the search remained characterized in the first few hours of anxiety and uncertainty. 

The divers of the Hamburg police were finally able to find and mount the man's body in the water. Fortunately, there were no signs of external debt, which made the case of tragic but ultimately less mysterious appear. A stressful puzzle has been solved, but the grief remains.

a happy outcome - another missing

Interestingly, the Grossensee was not only shaped by tragedies, but also by a happy outcome. On September 1, a man had disappeared while swimming, and his companion immediately informed the emergency call. However, unlike in the current case, this man could be found in the water intact. Circumstances that were initially unclear, but luck was on his side.

Another strange event occurred on July 21, when a stray rudder boat was discovered in the lake. The use of about 130 rescuers was alerted when the crew of the boat was missing. But soon it turned out: nobody was missing! It turned out that the boat had probably torn away. A joke that caused excitement for a short moment!

the Großensee, a place of relaxation and pleasure, also seems to be a stage for strange and tragic incidents. The search for answers continues, while the grief for the late man does not come to rest.
