Work out in one minute what medical cover your event in Berlin needs. Based on the standard scheme in the Berlin Fire Brigade guidance sheet, which the Berlin authorities use to assess events.
How it works
Source: Berlin Fire Brigade, guidance sheet “Sanitätsdienst bei Veranstaltungen” (medical cover at events), as of March 2025. Where the guidance gives a range for the risk multiplier, we use the midpoint. We round the total score up to the next whole number.
According to the Berlin Fire Brigade guidance sheet, medical cover is generally required from 500 people present at the same time. Below that it is not mandatory, but always a good idea.
From a total score of 6, with more than 3,000 people present at the same time or where there is a particular risk, the assessment is agreed with the Berlin Fire Brigade. We draw up the medical cover plan for you.
The guidance uses the term “Helfende”: responders with at least 60 teaching units of medical training, including resuscitation with an AED. Some of them must be EMTs (520-hour training).
No. The calculator gives an estimate based on the standard scheme. The conditions in each case are set by the Berlin Fire Brigade or the permitting authority. We check your requirements free of charge.
