Silent heroes who reacted exactly right in an exceptional situation and thus became lifesavers will be brought to the fore on Monday. Among them are two Linz police officers and an 18-year-old who became a lifesaver for a farmer.

"Upper Austria is a land of togetherness and thrives on the commitment of its people. Helping and sticking together is in the blood of Upper Austrians," congratulated Governor Thomas Stelzer (ÖVP). The reaction of 18-year-old Marlies Berkenhoff in March of this year was exemplary. The teenager helped a farmer from Bad Ischl when she suddenly collapsed and was no longer responsive.

"I have great respect for her"
The 18-year-old immediately administered first aid, made an emergency call and informed the farmer's husband. She performed chest compressions and artificial respiration until the emergency helicopter arrived. "Marlies reacted quickly and correctly in a difficult situation - I have great respect for that," said Stelzer.

Just barely rescued from the Danube
The two inspectors Stefan Dirisamer (42) and Peter Strasser (55) also reacted correctly on June 24. The two were out on a police boat in Linz when they were able to pull a 52-year-old man to shore who had almost drowned while trying to rescue a soccer ball from the Danube.
