Albrecht Broemme (born May 21, 1953 in Darmstadt ) was President of the Federal Agency for Technical Relief from April 2006 to the end of 2019 . Before that, from mid-1992 he was the state fire director and head of the Berlin fire department .

Live and act

He did his alternative military service at the Technical Relief Organization in Darmstadt, which he joined at the age of 17.

Broemme studied electrical engineering at the Technical University of Darmstadt and, out of enthusiasm for fire services, joined the Darmstadt City Center volunteer fire department at an early age .

In 1977 he was hired as a fire trainee by the Berlin fire brigade , and in 1980 he was appointed to the fire council.

In 1992 Broemme became the youngest head of the Berlin fire brigade at the age of 39, when he was appointed state fire director (LBD), grade B5, as the successor to retired Wolfgang Scholz . From July 11th to 17th, 1993 he was the host of the Xth International Fire Brigade Competition of the World Fire Brigade Association CTIF (Fire Brigade Olympiad ) with the Berlin Fire  Brigade . During his service, he had to reduce the number of full-time firefighters from 5200 to 3800 in view of the pressure to save. He countered this in that the "Operation Concept 1999" (EK 99), which he supported, brought about the abandonment of the fire engine and the squadron as a decisive factor. The model he favored with many small fire stations instead of a few large ones, which should enable shorter travel times in the dense Berlin traffic, could not be financed.

On April 5, 2006 Albrecht Broemme was appointed President of the Federal Agency for Technical Relief by Federal Interior Minister Wolfgang Schäuble with effect from May 16, 2006. Albrecht Broemme was a voluntary helper in the THW local association in Darmstadt from 1970 to 1975. On December 31, 2019, Albrecht Broemme retired as President of the Federal Agency for Technical Relief.

Broemme was chairman of the working group of heads of professional fire departments in the Federal Republic of Germany and vice-president of the German Fire Brigade Association .

In 2002 Broemme received the Beuth commemorative coin from the German Institute for Standardization (DIN) for its many years of commitment to standardization work .

Broemme works for the “Alliance for Consumer Fire Safety in Europe” (ACFSE), which is managed by the public relations agency Burson-Marsteller, which is part of the WPP group .

After Broemme's resignation from the office of state fire director in May 2006, the Berlin fire brigade was temporarily headed by the chief fire director Wilfried Graefling , who was appointed the new state fire director on November 7, 2006 by the Berlin Senator for the Interior Ehrhart Körting .

Along with Wolfgang Scholz, Manfred Schäfer (East) and Wilfried Gräfling, he is one of the four surviving former heads of the Berlin fire brigade.

From March to May 2020, Broemme coordinated the establishment of a corona treatment center on a voluntary basis to combat the COVID-19 pandemic on the Berlin exhibition grounds .

family

Broemme has two children born in 1991 and 1994.
