Held in the last second: Langers Ferdinand Schenko saves cyclists!

An exciting event has attracted great attention in the small town. Ferdinand Schenko, a committed firefighter, was carried out by the Saxony-Anhalt Interior Minister Dr. Tamara Zieschang with the emergency medal of the state of Saxony-Anhalt . This happened for a brave rescue operation that occurred almost a year ago.

The dramatic events took place on July 11, 2024 in Zerbst. Schenko, who was on the way back from a restaurant with his girlfriend and her parents, suddenly noticed a cyclist who fell and was bleeding in the track bed. *There was something about*! A train approached and the time was crowded. Schenko instinctively acted, pulled the accident with a well -practiced rescue handle behind the barrier and was able to prevent worse. Despite an injury to the leg, the cyclist did not suffer any serious consequences thanks to Schenko's courageous intervention, since both were cared for by the rescue workers in good time.

brave deeds in a community spirit

"I didn't think, I just acted," Schenko describes his reaction. His modest character becomes clear; When he took the medal towards the medal, he did not feel like a hero, but as part of a community of helpers who are always available to stand by others. In a world, in which helpfulness often pays little attention, Schenko's act emphasizes the value of human coexistence. Mayor Andreas Dittmann also emphasized during the award how important such civil courage actions are for our society.

Schenko, who has been active at the Langen volunteer since 2011 and has been acting as a youth fire brigade instructor for a year, is already looking forward to the next fire brigade event, where he wants to proudly present the received award. He is a good example of how important good training and continuous commitment to the fire brigade are.

the rescue medal and its meaning

The Emergency medal of the state of Saxony-Anhalt is awarded to persons who save other human lives or avert significant dangers. Since the introduction of the medal on September 7, 2005, many courageous acts have been honored, but such heroic deeds should not only be recognized in the context of award ceremonies. Emergency and civil courage medals of the various federal states underline it to show and willingly help.

Ferdinand Schenko is not only an example of extraordinary courage, but also for the values that should be kept up in a community. We all have a little bit of his courageous action and the natural willingness to help us.
