By the report of the participants in the process the following was stated: Winfried Ogurek, Gunter Böttcher and Heinz Meier had near the Sommerbadeanstalt an old barge bribed. As rudder they use 2 boards found on the shore. They drove first in quieter waters of the Schluesenarwes, then they headed out to the Elbe, which had a particularly strong current today as a result of the heavy rain fall. The barge was caught by the current and drove towards the dam of the nearby power plant. All three boys sprang into the Nasser to save themselves by swimming. Meier and Böttcher managed to reach the shore. Ogurek remained to rst, because he might not be able to overcome the strong current, near the barge, but was then driven by the strontation against the weir. The stowage was pulled up. Ogurek was printed by the current under water and then no longer seen. The barge drove against the Wehr, where it was stuck. The body of the.Ogurek could not be found until now.
