Friedrich Rösch

Friedrich Rösch (born January 8, 1832 in Reutlingen , † August 10, 1923 in Merenye in Slovakia) was a German-Hungarian educator and pioneer of fire services in western Hungary.

Life

After attending secondary school in Reutlingen, Friedrich Rösch studied at the Stuttgart Polytechnic School . In 1848 he became a member of the Stauffia Corps . After graduating, he became a secondary school teacher in Neuffen, Nürtingen and Esslingen. In 1853 he went to Hungary and was initially a secondary school teacher in Oberschützen in what is now Burgenland. From 1868 to 1884 he taught in Sopron (German: Ödenburg) as a professor at the local Communal - the subjects of mathematics, geometry, drawing and sports. In 1866, on his initiative, the gymnastics and fire service association was founded in Sopron as the first volunteer fire brigade in Hungary . As a result, there were further foundings in the Hungarian cities. With his lectures in Sopron on the training and equipment of fire brigade associations, in which around 400 delegates from western Hungary participated in 1869, he significantly promoted this development. In 1870, under his chairmanship, the state federation was constituted as an all-Hungarian fire service organization. From 1866 to 1911 he was head of the Sopron Volunteer Fire Brigade. He was the author of publications on fire fighting.
