Dinghy drama and traffic accidents: Dangerous week in Munich!
An exciting Sunday on July 6th, 2025 in Munich: While the city was winding down the weekend, several incidents occurred that caused both excitement and worried minds. The police reports reveal a variety of events, ranging from a capsized rubber dinghy to dangerous traffic accidents.
In a spectacular incident, an inflatable boat capsized on the Isar near the Großhesseloher Bridge. Fortunately, the five passengers, all from Munich between the ages of 29 and 40, were able to save themselves into the water after missing warning signs about the weir system. Police determined that three of the men were intoxicated and initiated appropriate charges under the Boating Regulations. The boat was recovered and there were no injuries, which meant the situation ended as lightly as possible Bavaria Police reported.
The consequences of drunk driving
In a further context there are two traffic accidents that also took place on Sunday. A 64-year-old driver collided with a 61-year-old driver of a Mercedes van at the intersection of Cosimastraße/Fritz-Mayer-Weg. While the van overturned and a parked car was damaged, both drivers had to be taken to hospital with injuries. The police have charged the elderly driver with negligent bodily harm. Another accident occurred in Ramersdorf-Perlach, where a 29-year-old crashed his Suzuki into a Renault van while changing lanes and then collided with a tree. Here too, several passengers were injured and the traffic police are investigating.
The dangers of alcohol consumption are also highlighted by a recent alcohol raid on the Isar near Baierbrunn. Last Saturday, police checked around 80 inflatable boats and kayaks and checked 250 people. Result: 13 had more than 0.5 per mille in their blood, and a 26-year-old from Munich took the sad “top spot” in this campaign with his 1.6 per mille. These controls are part of the Munich District Office's boating regulations, which have been in force since 2020 and which set strict rules. For example, only vehicles that meet the DIN standard may be operated, and the upper limit for intoxicated boat passengers is 0.5 per mille. Anyone who is caught must expect fines of up to 5,000 euros, especially if it is a repeat offense, such as Evening newspaper Munich reported.
Dealing with alcohol on the water
A special regulation applies to shipmasters: they must completely abstain from alcoholic beverages during their working hours. According to the Federal Police The alcohol limit for monitoring and service may be up to 0.5 per mille. Anyone who is out on the water with a blood alcohol level of 1.1 or more is committing a crime - regardless of whether there are any symptoms of failure.
Last weekend's events illustrate the importance of taking responsibility, whether driving or boating. In a city like Munich, where the Isar invites you to linger, you should not underestimate the risks of alcohol. Enjoyment can be nice, but safety should always come first.
