Bayreuth celebrates: Visit to the BP 25 crew for the citizens' festival!

Bayreuth, Deutschland - The citizens' festival in Bayreuth was a special occasion when the BP 25 "Bayreuth" received a warm welcome in the new town hall on July 5, 2025. Mayor Thomas Ebersberger welcomed the guests from the Federal Police Lake, led by the deputy commander Maik Schleusner. This exchange was not only a meeting at the official level, but also an opportunity for students from the Graf-Münster-Gymnasium to learn up close about the diverse activities of the Federal Police Lake.

In the large meeting room, questions such as training at the federal police, international operations and life were asked at sea. This open question and answer session offered young people exciting insights into the challenges and experiences associated with this profession. The BP 25 "Bayreuth" is a proud member of the Fleet of the Federal Police Lake and plays an important role in the German coast guard, especially in the waters around the island of Fehmarn.

A look at the BP 25

The BP 25 was put into service in 2003 and has since proven to be a powerful patrol ship. With a length of about 66 meters and an impressive engine output of over 7,000 hp, the ship can achieve top speeds of up to 21 knots (approx. 40 km/h), which makes it extremely effective for patrols in coastal waters. There are around 14 federal police officers, including technicians, nautics and seafarers who face the diverse challenges of the service.

The longstanding sponsorship between the city of Bayreuth and the emergency ship is particularly remarkable. This tradition goes back to the 1970s when the first sponsorship of a patrol boat of the then Federal Border Guard was launched. To this day, the connection is cultivated by regular encounters and events that combine the local community with the Federal Police Lake.

life at sea and the challenges of service

A relative of the Federal Police Inspection Lake in Cuxhaven describes his everyday work on board an emergency ship and reports on his duties as a technical guards. He is responsible for the maintenance of the machines and the repair of ship -based systems. The machine tour is particularly exciting, in which it recognizes leaks and defects and documented in an electronic maintenance system. Teamwork and an interest in technology are required in this position to meet the challenges of life at sea.

The experiences of the crew members show that it is not only about technical skills, but also about the cohesion that is promoted by the challenges on board. If you are interested in a career at the Federal Police Lake, you will find the opportunity to develop your skills in an appreciative team. Practice -oriented usage training provides the necessary knowledge for the service on board that is essential when working on the high seas.

through the citizens' festival and the exchange between the students and the BP 25 officers once again became clear how important the connection between the city and the federal police is. The great support of the population and the tradition in Bayreuth create a strong sense of community that should continue to be maintained.
