Christoph 35 (BMI)

The civil protection air ambulance operating under the radio call sign "Christoph 35" serves as a vital emergency rescue lifeline based at the Städtisches Klinikum Brandenburg in Brandenburg an der Havel, Germany. Officially commissioned on October 3, 1993, to modernize regional healthcare logistics following the reunification of Germany, the station is directly operated by the Federal Ministry of the Interior and Community (BMI - Bundesministerium des Innern). The base modernisierten its infrastructure by upgrading from legacy platforms like the Bell UH-1D and Eurocopter Bo 105 to its current high-performance Airbus H135 (EC135 T2+) twin-engine helicopter. Sporting a distinctive, highly visible bright orange livery that designates it as a dedicated federal disaster relief asset, the helicopter acts as a flying intensive care unit, allowing crews to bypass complex rural road networks across the state of Brandenburg to deliver rapid medical stabilization and transport high-risk trauma patients directly into specialized urban medical centers.

Previous flying was NVA and later the Luftwaffe as SAR94.
