First aid kit is _LAW_.  So is taking part in a mandatory first aid course:
 
                   "Sofortmassnahmen am Unfallort"

                "Immediate actions at an accident site"

This is basic stuff - secure the site (warning triangles, stop people smoking, 
etc) - followed by basic first aid.  I think it's a one-day course.  
Drivers of public service vehicles (buses, etc.) have a longer course. 
These courses are mandatory for a driving licence in Germany. I have a 
certificate issued in 6238 Hofheim/Ts, though the zip code has changed in the 
interim.
