history
Emerging from the Air Protection Aid Service (LSHD), after its dissolution in 1968, the unit was transferred as a management unit to the Extended Disaster Management.
In the 1990s, the federal government withdrew from financing the telecommunications service. The Saarland and Saarpfalz district recognized early on the need to keep the telecommunications train for information and communication in the event of danger or disaster. The personal commitment of the train driver and ARKAT state chairman Berdy Schuck also made a significant contribution to the continued existence of the train .
Schuck died in 2011. Patrick Hans took over the management of the train together with the deputy train driver Christian Müller since 1997.
