history

Pulled by molds: syringe trucks, water trucks, handcarts and personnel carriers (from left to right)

Oderberger Straße was laid out in 1871 on the site of a tree nursery and was given its current name in 1873. The fire station was moved into on November 25th, 1883 by the Berlin fire brigade founded in 1851 . It had "hand pressure syringes, a crew car and several water trucks". The fire station became known through the use of white horses that belonged to the fire brigade , which was a rarity at the time.

The building is listed as a monument in the list of monuments of the Berlin State Monuments Office. With the construction of the Berlin Wall , the street became a dead end and the fire station, only a few houses away from the wall, suddenly found itself in a peripheral location.

In 1956 the Prenzlauer Berg volunteer fire brigade was founded, which initially shared the building of the professional fire brigade. Since 1984 the volunteer fire brigade has been stationed in its own guard building on Schieritzstrasse.

The guard is a "bell guard" which is called out over 1,000 times a month. The gates are still opened by hand. Despite the residential area, blue light and siren should actually be switched on, but this is not always carried out with consideration for the residents.

Due to the structural situation in Oderberger Straße, there are long-term considerations to relocate the location, for example to Werneuchener Wiese .
