Actually, this would be the general German term for a lifeguard base.
They are manned/run by different organisations (DLRG, ASB, Wasserwacht).
To my knowledge they only do near shore rescuing for swimmers, surfers,
light boats etc. Off-shore rescuing more intended for rescuing ships'
crews is done by German Coast Guard (Küstenwache, state run) or more
often by another non-governmental organization called Deutsche
Gesellschaft zur Rettung Schiffbrüchiger.
