Share The two organizations have been given the 2020 Adenauer – De Gaulle Prize for their ‘outstanding contribution to Franco-German solidarity’ throughout Covid-19
State Minister Michael Roth and State Secretary Clement Beaune said about the choice of the award winner: “The Covid-19 pandemic hit the greater region on the German-French border very hard. At the height of the crisis in the spring, DRF-Luftrettung and Luxembourg Air Rescue set a strong signal for European solidarity and cross-border co-operation. Under difficult circumstances, the two air rescue services, with great professionalism and strong persona commitment, took over the majority of helicopter transports of French patients to hospitals in Germany and back again. The DRF and LAR not only saved lives in concrete terms, but also made a very important contribution to overcoming the health crisis and strengthening the Franco-German friendship.
