Lawn art for the anniversary: ​​fire brigade Hochaltingen celebrates great!

In the coming weeks, several holidays are due to the voluntary commitment of the fire brigades in Bavaria. The anticipation is great, because both the Hochaltingen volunteer fire brigade as well as the fire brigade Mauerkirchen and the local fire brigade are celebrating anniversaries that underline the importance of these institutions.

A highlight will be the 150th anniversary of the Hochaltingen volunteer fire brigade, which will be celebrated on the first weekend in July. Various art motifs have been pointed out to the anniversary since 2020. Spectacular motifs can be admired on the site, including oversized PAC-Man games and large footprints. The lettering "I Love Holde", which receives a total area of ​​about 800 square meters, attracts special attention. Those letters, each are four meters high and three meters wide, were drawn on a tarpaulin on a impressive scale of 1: 1 and then creatively designed on site. Preparations were mainly held in a hall in winter and took around ten hours before the colors were applied to the meadow in spring to festively initiate the anniversary. Donau-Ries-Aktuell reports that the celebrations should inspire with a mixture of tradition and modernity.

anniversary celebrations in Mauerkirchen and Offensen

Not only in Hochaltingen is celebrated. The Mauerkirchen volunteer fire brigade also revives the memories of its eventful history on the occasion of its 150th anniversary. After a devastating market fire in 1865, followed by another fire in 1873, the fire brigade was founded and has since made a name for itself through camaraderie and helpfulness. The anniversary celebration, which begins on September 15 and 16, 2023 at 4:15 p.m., promises to become an event for the whole family. At 6:45 p.m. there will be a ceremony at the market square, in which numerous other fire brigades, clubs and guests of honor are also expected. The population is cordially invited to take part in the festival and celebrate the community.

From 2:00 p.m. the ceremony at the village community center will begin with a variety of program items.
