Bathing ban at Lake Aileswasen: Police are desperately searching for missing people!
On Whit Sunday, June 8, 2025, a bathing ban was imposed on the Aileswasensee in Neckartailfingen, Baden-Württemberg. The reason for this is the disappearance of a person who may have drowned. Police fear that the missing person may have died and that his body is floating in the lake. Despite intensive searches with lifeguards and divers, the person has not yet been found. A total of 37 emergency services from the DLRG, fire department, police and rescue services were on duty that day, supported by a police helicopter from the air.
The municipality of Neckartailfingen has informed on its website that the water is closed in order to avoid bathers coming across a possible lifeless body. According to the current status, the lake will initially remain closed for three days; another search with a sonar device is scheduled for Monday or Tuesday. This device had previously identified two prominent spots in the water, but the missing person remained untraceable.
Details about the search
Eyewitnesses reported the situation in which the missing person got into distress in the water and then sank. The Neckartailfingen fire department also provided information about the closure measure via Instagram to inform the public about the dangers and the ongoing search operations.
Local police believe the missing person may surface in the next few days, underlining the urgency of the search. What is particularly worrying is that in another case there is also a search for a person who has been missing in a lake for months. The situation leaves the population and the emergency services in great uncertainty.
The ongoing measures and coordination of the search operation are crucial in order to resolve this tragic situation as quickly as possible. The local authorities ask for your understanding for the closure of the lake and for the population's continued attention to possible warnings and information.
