During the night of February 20 to 21, an emergency backpack worth €2,200 was stolen from an ambulance at the rescue station in Hohenstein-Breithardt. Through a Facebook post by the Hohenstein mayor, Daniel Bauer, employees of W.Söhngen GmbH from Taunusstein quickly became aware of the brazen theft. The company has been producing and selling products for first aid and emergency medicine, including emergency backpacks, for almost 100 years and knows about the enormous importance of such equipment. For Christoph Hirschmann, Managing Director of W.Söhngen GmbH, and his team, it is therefore immediately clear that they must support Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe e. V. in this situation. “We were all shocked by this news! Emergency medicine is, of course, exactly our field of expertise. There was no doubt about helping the neighboring community here as a Taunusstein company!”, says Christoph Hirschmann, Managing Director of W.Söhngen GmbH. Matthias Schirmer, Project Manager Advertising & Communication, adds: “As a citizen of the community of Hohenstein, it is enormously important to me that safety is maintained in my own community! Not only for me, but also for all my neighbors. I heard the news with horror and of course immediately committed myself to support here.” On Thursday, 25.02.2021, Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe e. V. was therefore presented with a fully equipped PROFiL emergency backpack from SÖHNGEN® for emergency treatment. Ulf Weyer from Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe e. V. and Mayor Daniel Bauer agree: “We are very grateful for the quick, unexpected help from SÖHNGEN®. However, it should never have happened in the first place that someone would steal something as important as an emergency backpack.”
