The Berlin branch of the German Red Cross reported over 14,700 hours of service and 1,440 medical treatments during the event. A total of almost 1,000 people were treated in the fan zone at the Brandenburg Gate and in the Olympic Stadium Berlin. The concept was rated as successful and well structured.
