Fire Brigade Museum
When the Wiesbaden fire brigade renewed its vehicle fleet at the end of the 1950s, the idea was born to replicate the vehicles that had now been discarded on a 1:10 scale before they became “victims of the scrap press”. These vehicle models, which were recreated in lengthy detailed work, formed the basis for the fire brigade museum , which was launched in 1960.
The Wiesbaden Fire Brigade Museum is housed in fire station 1 at Kurt-Schumacher-Ring 16. It offers visitors a leap in time from the present to the past.
Over the years, more models created so that the Fire Department Museum Wiesbaden today an extensive model collection of firefighting equipment has, from the fire bucket on Stock-, pressure and steam injection up to the complete fire company . Numerous documents and pictures, some of them rare, can also be seen.
A Benz-Gaggenau type fire engine , built in 1925, can be viewed on the grounds in front of fire station 1 .
