A 40-year-old man is missing after jumping into the Neckar River in Ladenburg and then disappearing while attempting to swim to a buoy.
Police said the man's companion lost sight of him after he entered the water on Sunday afternoon. A large search operation followed, involving water police, firefighters, a police helicopter and teams from the German Life Saving Association.
The extensive searches in the river and from the air have since been suspended. A police spokesman said late Sunday that emergency crews were continuing to search for the man on land.
