The Münster fire department consists of the Münster professional fire department and the Münster volunteer fire department . It was founded on May 5, 1905 and as Office 37 it is subordinate to Department I for Citizen Service, Personnel, Organization, Order, Fire Protection and IT. The chief employer of the Münster fire brigade is the Lord Mayor of the City of Münster , represented by Department Head I.
A special feature of the fire brigade is the tower keeper on the steeple of the Lambertikirche , who registers for duty every evening and watches over the city as a fire watch as since the Middle Ages . Alongside the tower keeper of Nördlingen, he is one of two still active tower keepers in Germany, not as a fire service employee, but as an employee of the city in the public service . Since January 1, 2014, Martje Saljé has been the first woman to hold this position in Münster.
history
Beginnings until 1933
Until the professional fire brigade of Münster was founded in 1905, an exclusively voluntary fire brigade with around 300 men was responsible for fire fighting in the city, which was founded in 1871. When the city area grew fivefold with the incorporation in 1903 and the population increased steadily at the same time, it was decided to set up a permanent fire brigade, which was brought into being by the then department head for city extinguishing, the city building councilor Tormin. It was located on the premises of the municipal gas works on Albersloher Weg. It initially consisted of a technician and eight craftsmen and owned a single-cylinder Opel with a ladder and two motorcycles as emergency vehicles. The working time at that time was 36 hours of work followed by a twelve-hour break. Shortly after it was founded, its staff was increased and equipped with a horse-drawn trolley for the sick.
A little later, the first large machine was purchased. It was a gas pressure syringe with two tanks with a capacity of 400 liters each and an attached carbonic acid bottle. With the help of carbon dioxide, the water was squirted out of the hoses. After it was not possible with this device to extinguish the steeple of the Martini Church, which was on fire on November 19, 1911, a steam pressure syringe was procured that was used in large fires and was in use until the 1930s.
The next big purchases were made in 1913, when the professional fire brigade was equipped with an automobile engine sprayer, an automobile steam sprayer and a 26 m long mobile mechanical turntable ladder. At the same time, the previous companies of the volunteer fire brigade were restructured into fire engines, which were also equipped with the equipment necessary for fire fighting.
The First World War led to personnel bottlenecks in the professional fire brigade, as a large part of the firefighters were drafted to the front. The main burden of fire fighting during this time lay with the volunteer fire brigade, who assigned their staff to the professional fire brigade. A short time after the end of the war, the workforce reached 18 men. In addition, the guard duty has been shortened to 24 hours.
Since the railroad crossings Albersloher way it turned more and more as time-consuming obstacle to increased hiring numbers of the fire department, the city of the harbor acquired by the Reichsbahn terrain in the area Albersloher way Hafenweg and Harbor Street, right on top of the city port I . This made a significant contribution to the success of the fire fighting, since from that point on no more valuable minutes were lost waiting at closed railway gates.
In 1925, a motorized syringe with an output of 2000 liters of water per minute and an automobile turntable ladder with a height of up to 25 m were purchased. At the same time the fire brigade was increased to 27 men. In the years from 1928 to 1930, a new fire station was built on the site acquired at the port according to the plans of the then city architect Sittel. It was characterized above all by sliding shafts or sliding poles from all relaxation rooms into the alarm hall, by spring-loaded gates and short distances from all workshops to the alarm hall. It was mentioned in the press as the most modern fire station in Germany.
1939 to 1945
The legislation during the time of National Socialism also had a considerable influence on the fire brigade in Münster. With the Reich Law on Fire Extinguishing on November 23, 1938, the independence of the voluntary fire brigade was dissolved and was subordinate to the local police administrator as an auxiliary police force. The professional fire brigade became part of the regulatory police as a fire extinguishing police and later as a fire protection police. In addition, in the same year she got two new emergency vehicles with a motor vehicle syringe with a minute output of 1500 l water and a turntable ladder with a height of up to 26 m.
During the Second World War , the fire brigade, like the city of Münster, was not spared from the Allied bombing. During the first attack on July 2, 1940, two bombs hit the courtyard of the fire station and killed two firefighters. Due to the damage, a second fire station was set up in the former Von Eine Kavalleriekaserne on Steinfurter Strasse, the “Wache Nord”. The main fire station at the port, however, was so badly damaged in further attacks on September 12 and 30, 1944 that it was no longer operational. During the last heavy air raid on March 25, 1945, during which the city was to be bombed ready for a storm, around 1,800 high-explosive bombs and over 150,000 incendiary bombs were dropped. The failure of the fire hydrants made it nearly impossible to put out the many fires in the city. Shortly before the Allies marched in on April 2, 1945, the police chief gave the order that the fire brigade should withdraw to the Weserbergland with vehicles and equipment of all kinds . Nevertheless, like their comrades who had not obeyed orders, they were initially taken prisoner of war. A few weeks after the end of the war, the city was without any fire protection until the military government ordered a fire brigade to be set up. The first firefighters in the post-war period consisted of individual firefighters who had been dispersed and who had escaped captivity, including fire chief Doeker, who was tasked with rebuilding the fire brigade. In addition to the personnel problem, another problem was the lack of any equipment. The main fire station was completely destroyed, 75% of the fire stations of the volunteer fire brigade, including the fire engines and public fire alarms. There was little or no protective clothing. Only after arduous discussions with older firefighters did they agree to take over their service with the volunteer fire brigade.
After the end of the war, the fire brigade was no longer subordinate to the police chief, but to an officer of the military government. That also decreed the renaming of fire police in professional fire brigade. In addition to managing the fire brigade, subordination to the military government was also an advantage, as they were given preference with equipment and materials. These included, for example, seized vehicles, tires and tools. In addition, the reconstruction of the infrastructure began and the search for the vehicles that were abducted and partially looted towards the end of the war and found in garages, barns and wooded areas. The reconstruction of the destroyed buildings also took on concrete forms, so that in July 1945 the main fire station could be reached again by phone. The fire brigade took over the ambulance transports again from 1946 after the German Red Cross had been responsible for it since 1944 . For this purpose, their seven vehicles were taken over, of which only two were partially operational.
1945 until today
However, the reconstruction turned out to be difficult, which is mainly due to the general economic situation. This was only to change with the currency reform of June 20, 1948. It was possible to procure new vehicles, for example a new fire truck in 1951. Investments were also made in communication equipment. Simultaneously with the reconstruction of the telephone network, the introduction and expansion of a radio communication system began, which went into operation from 1953. In 1955, the 50th anniversary of the fire brigade, the reconstruction was completed. From this point in time, the expansion of the fire brigade began, especially after the fire brigade was faced with new tasks due to new laws in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia .
These new tasks made an expansion of the fire brigade inevitable. So, towards the end of the 1950s, planning began for a new fire station, for which a preliminary draft was presented in 1959. At the same time, the fire brigade committee visited several fire stations in Bielefeld , Gelsenkirchen , Braunschweig and Zwolle . The site, which was initially planned as a new location, had to be abandoned a year later, as the existing area of around 10,000 m² was considered too scarce and the transport links too poor. The search for a suitable location was continued and so in 1966, after long negotiations with the federal government, part of the site of the former Herwarth-von-Bittenfeld barracks on Grevener Strasse / Im Münster Esch (today York-Ring) with an area of 21,072 m² to be acquired at a price of DM 2,235,000. The foundation stone for this new building was laid by the mayor of Münster, Dr. Albrecht Beckel on June 19, 1968. After two years of construction, the new fire station was completed for the 24th German Fire Brigade Day in Münster from June 17 to 21, 1970. In the following years, in addition to a fire station for a fire-fighting train in the old town of the volunteer fire brigade, a practice pool for divers was added. The old fire station at the city harbor also remained in operation.
With the territorial reform in North Rhine-Westphalia on January 1, 1975, the area where the fires were deployed quadrupled from almost 75 km² to over 300 km² when several surrounding communities were incorporated into the city of Münster. Despite the enlarged operational area, the fire brigade operations improved. In addition, the professional fire brigade stationed an ambulance station in Hiltrup , which was replaced in 1986 by a larger new building. Another innovation in the ambulance service came into effect in Münster on January 1st, 1978, according to which an emergency doctor has always been on the scene for rescue missions since then. Since 1993, a second emergency doctor has also been constantly on call.
In 1988 the civil defense office was dissolved and its tasks were transferred to the fire brigade. The maintenance of the shelters and the emergency drinking water supply have also been part of the duties of the fire brigade since then. The increase in staff associated with this and changes in shift work made it necessary to further expand the existing buildings, so that the main fire station on York-Ring had to be increased by another floor and additional garages.
In 1999 it was initially planned to renovate the old fire station at the harbor after the almost 70-year-old building was in urgent need of renovation. Shortly after the renovation work began, it turned out that the building was in a worse condition than initially assumed. There were cracks in the ceilings and the long-term consequences of the war as well as the increased requirements only allowed the result of abandoning the building and replacing it with a new building. As a result, the city council decided in March 2001 to discontinue the renovation measures and to build a new fire station, which started in February 2003 near the old, original fire station. After a construction period of just over a year, the new guard was put into service in August 2004. Two new rescue stations in Mecklenbeck and Kemper were also put into service in 2004 .
At the end of November 2012, the demolition of a former barracks building on Koburger Weg began in preparation for the expansion of fire and rescue station 1. Since the spring of 2013, the station has been expanded to include a four-storey building in which, in addition to ten parking spaces for emergency vehicles, the operations control center and municipal IT -Service provider Citeq are housed. The new building should be ready for occupancy in summer 2014 and cost around 8.5 million euros. The new control center was put into operation and the extension was officially opened on October 1st, 2015.
vehicles
The Münster fire brigade's fleet consists of more than 150 vehicles. A regular fire brigade of the professional fire brigade consists of the following vehicles:
- Command vehicle (ELW 1), a Mercedes Sprinter with an extended wheelbase and all-wheel drive. It is equipped with a radio, cell phone and literature for use.
- Auxiliary fire fighting group vehicle 20/16 (HLF 20/16): A vehicle of this type is permanently assigned to each fire engine. A special feature is the width reduced to 2.30 m. The fire fighting train is supplemented by an identical vehicle from another fire station ("support LF").
- Turntable ladder with basket 23-12 (DLK 23-12), equipped with basket and high-performance fan for smoke extraction. There are also two breathing apparatus with double the air supply on board. This vehicle is also reduced to a width of 2.30 m. In addition, the rear axle can be steered separately due to the narrow buildings in the city center.
- Tank fire engine (TLF 24/48): Like the fire fighting vehicle, the width is also reduced to 2.30 m. In addition to the water tank with a capacity of 4800 l, there are 500 l of alcohol-resistant foam concentrate and a powder extinguishing system with 500 kg of extinguishing powder on board.
- Ambulance (RTW)
In the event of major fires or disasters, the ELW 2 command vehicle is a large-capacity vehicle with modern communication and computer technology as well as a meeting room for up to ten staff members.
A roll-off container and two equipment trolleys stationed at the aid organizations can together create a treatment station for the care of 50 patients.
The largest vehicle is the mobile crane with a load capacity of 45 tons. This is even able to drive sideways - in the so-called "crab walk". The 34 m long boom is also able to deliver water with a throw distance of up to 100 m via a fire monitor.
Other vehicles include four hose trolleys, each with a maximum conveying length of 2000 m, as well as a vehicle for personal decontamination and an emergency vehicle .
Professional fire brigade
Fire and rescue station 1
The fire and rescue station 1 of the Münster professional fire brigade is located on York-Ring northwest of the historic city center. It is also the main station of the Münster fire brigade and is home to the 1st fire engine.
Fire and rescue station 2
Fire and Rescue Station 2 is located near the location of the first fire station of the Münster professional fire department on Theodor-Scheiwe-Strasse on the eastern bank of the Dortmund-Ems Canal . It offers space for 17 fire engines and is the location of the 2nd fire engine. Around 20% of the operations carried out by it comprise fire fighting operations , while 80% of the operations are in the area of the rescue service .
In addition to the fire and rescue vehicle shelters, the buildings of fire and rescue station 2 also include workshops as well as seminar and training rooms in which the fire service training of the members of the professional fire service and the volunteer fire service is carried out. In addition, the fire and rescue station has an exercise tower with an indoor climbing system in which climbing, abseiling and belaying are trained. Connected to the building complex of the fire station, a sports hall has been built for the workforce in which company sports are carried out in the evening hours . There is also a sports field in the inner courtyard. There is also a suction basin in the inner courtyard, where extinguishing water can be extracted from open bodies of water.
Fire and rescue station 3
At the end of 2008, planning began to set up a third fire brigade for the professional fire brigade, which was to be stationed in Hiltrup from December 1, 2009 in addition to fire brigade 21 of the volunteer fire brigade .
Fire and Rescue Station 3 at Hansestraße 23 was opened on March 22, 2010, and the vehicles previously stationed at Rescue Station 3 were transferred to the new station. The guard is currently manned by 12 people who manned a fire fighting vehicle (rescue vehicle, turntable ladder with basket and tank fire engine), two ambulances, one of which is multifunctional with the tank fire engine, and an ambulance on day duty.
The background for setting up another fire brigade was the fact that the 2nd fire engine stationed in Fire and Rescue Station 2 often could not arrive at the scene in Hiltrup or Amelsbüren within the required eight minutes . To this end, the former depot of a tourism company on Hansestrasse in the west of Hiltrup was temporarily converted and has since acted as a fire station. From 2021, the fire engine is to move to a specially newly built fire station on Merkureck, on the northern edge of Hiltrup. The new building will offer parking spaces for 17 vehicles.

Fire fighting train 18 - St. Mauritz / Werse-Laer
The fire fighting train 18 Werse-Laer is located in the southeast of St. Mauritz in the immediate vicinity of the Werse .
After the Werse-Laer fire-fighting train had been doing its duty in makeshift fire stations since the early 1970s, a not only functional, but also architecturally sophisticated fire station could be moved into in May 2004. On Wolbecker Strasse, one of the main access roads in the east of Münster, visitors and commuters alike get a first impression of the urban planning requirements of the city, but still fit in harmoniously with the rural structure of the Werse and Laer farming communities.
The fire engine, founded in 1906, has three emergency vehicles at its disposal. In addition to a tank fire engine 16/25 and a fire fighting vehicle 8/6 , a hose truck 2000 with a crew was handed over to the fire engine with reference to the new fire station . The rural structure with individual farmsteads and the Werse with its adjoining boathouses not only shape the landscape, but also the range of uses.
Fire fighting train 19 - Wolbeck
Fire brigade 19 of the volunteer fire brigade in Wolbeck was founded on May 17, 1908 as the successor to a compulsory fire brigade . The device and the fire station could be taken over.

Fire fighting train 21 - Hiltrup
The largest and at the same time one of the oldest volunteer fire brigades is located in the Hiltrup district , the largest district outside of the inner city area. It was founded in 1892, but at that time the fire fighters still had to fall back on completely inadequate equipment. The fire station has been located on Friedhofstrasse since 1966, and was partially renovated in 2005 and offers space for six emergency vehicles.

After the changing rooms and sanitary facilities were completely renewed in 2015, the kitchen will be renovated in 2017 and the four missing gates will be raised. This is urgently needed, as modern emergency vehicles have so far not been able to fit into the fire station on Friedhofstrasse due to their height.
Fire fighting train 22 - Amelsbüren
The establishment of the voluntary fire brigade in Amelsbüren , which was integrated into the Münster fire brigade as extinguishing train 22, dates back to the middle of the 19th century. Already in 1890 it had its own fire station. This was replaced by a new one in 1974 and is located on Davertstrasse.

Fire fighting train 23 - Loevelingloh
The obligation to fire extinguishers is mentioned in a document as early as 1823. The volunteer fire brigade did not come into existence until 1905, however. As the chronicle shows, an old hand syringe was replaced by a modern fire syringe as early as 1913. When the last world war ended, all fire fighting equipment was destroyed at the same time. An abandoned workshop ship on the Dortmund-Ems Canal, which had all kinds of usable extinguishing equipment on board, ensured that the train was rebuilt. The TSA was decommissioned in 1957 and the fire engine got a used TSF of the VW Bulli type. In 1961 the fire engine got its first own accommodation for the vehicle and the equipment. This was located on today's Kappenberger Damm. The scrap-ready TSF was exchanged for a new TSF from the Ford Transit brand in 1964.
In 1979 a partnership was established with the fire brigade Vorhelm of the Ahlen fire brigade. Since then, joint exercises, sporting activities and camaraderie celebrations have taken place regularly. As the requirements grew steadily, the TSF was taken out of service in 1982 and the fire engine was given a TLF 16/24. Of course, this did not fit into the old accommodation. The problem was solved by converting a rented barn on Straße von-Rennesse-Weg 66 in-house. The TLF 16/24 was exchanged for a new TLF 16/25 in 1984. In 1998 the long-awaited move to today's fire station at Wiedaustraße 125 took place. The TLF 16/25 was replaced by an almost new one and an LF 16-TS and a RW 1 were added. The TLF 16/25 was exchanged for an HLF 20/16 in spring 2009.
The fire engine now looks after an area of around 25 km². It is characterized by farms, scattered settlements, an industrial park, a psychiatric hospital and a 20 km long section of the A1 and A43 motorways. In addition, the fire brigade is responsible for the fire protection training in the local elementary school. There are currently 35 firefighters on duty, three youngsters in youth fire brigade group 6 and eleven comrades in the honorary department.
