Two-year-old Georg disappeared while walking in the forest in Oberellenbach, Hesse. Police and rescue workers had been searching for the boy with a large number since Sunday afternoon.
The all-clear came late in the evening when the child was found slightly hypothermic, soaked but unharmed. After a medical examination, he was handed over to his parents in a small town in the eastern Hesse municipality of Alheim with a few hundred inhabitants. The boy was discovered at around 11:30 p.m.
