Fulda in a State of Emergency – for a Good Cause: From 14 to 16 May 2025, the Hessian city of Fulda will once again become the hub of the emergency services world. RETTmobil International – Europe’s leading specialist exhibition for rescue and mobility – is opening its doors. With more than 500 exhibitors from 25 countries, high-profile expert lectures and gripping live demonstrations, the 23rd edition of the event remains the key industry meeting for professionals and decision-makers in the emergency and rescue sector.
Shaping the Future – with Strong Partners Alongside
This year’s patron is Georg Khevenhüller, President of the Malteser Relief Service – a partnership that sends out a clear signal: “With Mr Khevenhüller, we are once again providing key impetus for the entire emergency services industry,” says exhibition director Manfred Hommel.
Experience It First-Hand: Spectacular Live Rescue Exercise on Thursday
A highly realistic highlight awaits visitors on Thursday, 15 May 2025 at 2:00pm: Fulda Fire Service and the Malteser Relief Service Fulda will carry out a dramatic medical and technical rescue following a collision between a car and an agricultural vehicle. Multiple casualties – trapped and under extreme time pressure – will be rescued live under realistic conditions. Location of the exercise: Wolf-Hirth-Straße, side entrance to the exhibition grounds.
