Berlin Police Divers Resume Tiergarten Pond Search for Missing Businessman

Police renewed underwater searches without citing new leads.

Overview

  • Police dive teams searched a pond in the Tiergarten on Wednesday and returned Thursday, with no finds reported.
  • A spokeswoman said there are no concrete new leads, though the missing persons unit continues to pursue the case.
  • Aleph Christian von Fellenberg, 33, disappeared on April 20, 2025 after leaving the Hilton near Gendarmenmarkt, and his smartwatch last connected near the Victory Column in the park.
  • Officers previously recovered his smartwatch in the Tiergarten, while reports indicate he left phones, passports, cash and a gold watch at his hotel but likely carried his wallet and credit cards.
  • Police issued a public appeal in late April 2025 that drew about 50 tips, and his mother mounted her own searches in Berlin and offered a reward.
