biography

Andreas Broicher was born as the son of Johann Broicher and Mathilde Füssenich, the youngest of six children on his father's farm in Rondorf. From 1943 he attended the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Gymnasium in Cologne and graduated from high school in 1954. His wish to become a soldier was not immediately fulfilled, so after graduating from high school he began an apprenticeship as a banker.
On January 2, 1956, he began a career as a tank grenadier in the Bundeswehr. He attended the Army Officer's School I in Hanover, where he met his wife, Christine Riechelmann, towards the end of the course. He was first employed in Hemer, then in Wetzlar as an orderly officer with the combat group staff under Colonel Ruge. He was then transferred to the 3rd Panzer Grenadier Battalion. As a company commander and first lieutenant, he had Helmut Willmann (lieutenant) as the only officer in the company. H. Willmann later became the army inspector himself. He then attended the command academy of the Bundeswehr and was promoted to major in the general staff after leaving the academy. In 1966 he served as a major in the general staff in Lüneburg under Colonel Horst Hildebrandt , who later became the inspector of the army (three-star general). Among other things, under General Günter Kießling he was further deployed in the brigade staff as a G3 officer and was thus responsible for the management of the staff and for planning, issuing orders and managing ongoing operations. He later worked as a battalion commander of the 321 Panzer Grenadier Battalion in Wesendorf. He was then responsible for the junior staff of future general staff officers at the leadership academy. His first assignment abroad was at the NATO Defense College in Rome. He was then employed as a staff officer in the Operations Division in SHAPE and headed a section. After assignments in the Army Office in Cologne and as commander of Brigade 5 in Homberg, he returned to SHAPE as Brigadier General. This time as the Chief Combat Requirements Branch. In 1988 he was reassigned to the Army Office in Cologne and took over responsibility for training and education. In 1993 he was retired.

He has three children with his wife Christine Riechelmann, whom he married in 1958.

Zülpich history association

In 1981 he moved temporarily to Zülpich with his family in 1993 . In the same year he reactivated the history association, which had existed since 1906 and was chairman until 2010. He also founded a corresponding working group in the local secondary school. He was able to realize a building project on the Zülpicher Mühlenberg, which is now open to the public as a museum of bathing culture . For his commitment to the history and culture of Zülpich, he was awarded the Rhineland Taler by the Rhineland Regional Council (LVR) in May 2011 .
