The Lispenhausen Volunteer Fire Department was originally founded on December 16, 1925 when there was a lack of the compulsory fire department and its resources. The first commander, Mayor Heinrich Fischer, and the first fire chief Wilhelm Trieselmann laid the foundation for a committed and necessary institution. The fire department developed quickly, installed the first alarm siren in 1929 and made impressive progress with its first “real” operation, a barn fire in Erkshausen in 1927.

Active members and continued existence

Today the fire department has 187 members, including 20 from the operations department and 12 in the youth fire department.

Visitors and fellow firefighters are cordially invited to celebrate this special event and toast the next 100 years together!
