TL;DR AI-generated The German federal government has no precise figures on heat-related hospital admissions or emergency service deployments this summer, according to a Green Party inquiry. Data exists for 16,300 heat-related deaths up to calendar week 35, with the Robert Koch Institute reporting a slightly different figure of 16,000 up to calendar week 37. Concrete measures to improve data collection are being considered.
