It takes just 32 minutes to drive from Munich to paradise. If you get off in Starnberg, you get a lake with a mountain view, child-friendly flat access and Aperol Spritz at the relevant supply stations. The stressed city dweller can open his newspaper, maybe pump up his SUP and enjoy the dream scenery – with one restriction. Usually he will not be alone. Lake Starnberg is an increasingly popular attraction for many different groups. There are the swimmers, the standup paddlers. The Sailors. The motorboat drivers.
Quite a mixed situation results, tensions are inevitable. It is a well-known fact that a lot can happen where there are lots of people. This is what happened last Sunday when a 64-year-old motorsport driver accidentally ran over a 32-year-old swimmer. Despite a historic large contingent of seekers, this is still missing. The emergency services have long been counting on being able to save him dead.
On Monday I was at the height where the accident supposedly happened. Playing children, flirting couples, sleeping pensioners: an almost spooky normality prevailed at the lake. Many had not even noticed that a tragedy had happened and that a police boat was still looking for the missing person on the lake. But Oliver Jauch from the Starnberg water rescue service kept a close eye on everything. He explained to me what exactly happened on Sunday and why it is so difficult to find a person in Lake Starnberg (SZ Plus).
On Tuesday she continues with special equipment: The search for a sad certainty that doesn’t seem to fit the paradise on the outskirts of Munich.

Nuclear dispute in the Greens – “We will not be divided” The Isar 2 nuclear reactor is becoming a point of contention within the party: should it remain in operation longer than the end of 2022 due to the impending energy crisis?
The Germans hoard wood Heating with fuel from the forest is becoming increasingly popular in the gas crisis. But there is not enough stock for everyone. Clear advantage: regular customers.
The medals are there, the spectators are still hesitant The gems for the winners are already there – only the spectators are missing. Some competitions are already sold out, but there is still plenty of room for track and field athletes.
