history
In 1893 the volunteer fire brigade was founded in Lehe . In 1895 the tradition of the compulsory fire brigade in Lehe ended. Leher citizens now took on these tasks on a voluntary basis, among them the businessman Ernst Scheppelmann and the master bricklayer Karl Platow, who headed the fire brigade as fire chiefs.
The old fire station in Lehe was built in 1903 according to plans by the municipal master builder Heinrich Lagershausen. The fire station was at that time in order to quickly absorb water, nor on the banks of the river Aue, which is piped at this location today. The single-storey hall with three passageways, where the fire engines could move out in both directions, has a gable roof. A five-storey hose tower with a spire is connected to the carriage hall and a hipped roof-covered extension for administration and stairwell. The picturesque reform architecture of the turn of the century corresponds to the Prussian / Brandenburg brick Gothic , with structural parts in exposed masonry and plastered infill masonry, as well as the ornamental window groups in the tower.
In 1924 the two Prussian cities of Lehe and Geestemünde were combined to form the city of Wesermünde . The volunteer fire brigade continued to exist alongside the Wesermünde professional fire brigade. It was disbanded at the end of World War II .
In 1932 a horse stable was built for the animal protection association , in 1955 a transformer station and in 1963 a row garage for vehicles for air raid protection.
Disaster control ( civil defense ) has been based here since 1985 and the volunteer fire brigade again since 1998.
