When his heart stopped at the age of 41, Peter Schluet completely changed his life. The former logistician and Gollingen fire chief is at the bedside himself - and is passionate about it.

Earnings in nursing are far lower than in logistics. That doesn't matter to Peter Schluet. "I see the success of my work here every day. I would never want it any other way," says the native of Gollingen.
