New fire brigade house in Cornberg: Future vision or illusion?

In Cornberg, the municipal representatives recently looked forward to an exciting future: at a public session, the planned new fire brigade house in Rockensweet was discussed more intensively. As the Hersfelder Zeitung reports, the property developer ISI Home from Bebra will look after the project as a general company. The goal is clear: a modern building that meets the requirements of the emergency services and ensures security in the long term.

Financing questions and planning process

A financing concept that the community can rely on is scheduled to lie in September. In February the Sparkasse Hersfeld-Rotenburg made initial proposals. The municipality has decided to create the performance target, the basic requirements for the construction, in cooperation with the fire brigade. This is essential because security and practical use are in the foreground for the volunteers. Incidentally, these aspects are also defined in DIN 14092 "Fire Brigade Houses", which is supplemented by Secure-feuerwehr.de . The planning and construction phase is valued at up to two years and four months. A building permit is expected to be granted within six to nine months.

In the context of the planning, hazard practices must also be taken into account, such as those treated in the DGUV regulation 49 and the DGUV Information 205-008. For example, parking space sizes and traffic routes must be designed in such a way that injury risks are minimized. It is important that the architects and planners work closely with the municipal administration and the fire brigade to guarantee security standards.

Future prospects and current developments

The Mayor Katja Gonzalez Contreras also presented current topics as part of the meeting, such as the replacement procurement of a server for the municipal administration. A leasing offer of around 500 euros a month was decided. On March 15, 2026, the next mayoral election in Cornberg is pending, and the financing concept discussed will be presented on September 18, 2025.

But the focus is not just on the fire brigade equipment house. The lease for the Cornberg monastery, which expires at the end of the year, also ensures conversation. The state of Hesse has an extension in view, and the municipal board should clarify this in negotiations with the state company Bau and Immobilien Hessen. Talks are also planned for a possible merger with Bebra or Sontra for June 17th. A meeting on village development is scheduled for June 24th in the village community center in rock -sess

An important aspect that is often overlooked is that fire brigade houses represent critical infrastructures, the functionality of which must also be guaranteed under extreme environmental conditions, as is emphasized on kuvb.de . The continuous training of the safety -related aspects by specialists ensures that fire station is not only functional, but also safe.

So Cornberg could soon look forward to a new home for his fire brigade. Security and efficiency are at the top of the agenda. If the planning continues, the new fire brigade house in Rockensweet could soon become a reality.
