Traditional fire brigade vehicles shine in the Massing open-air museum!
What's going on in the fire brigade scene of Bavaria? On Sunday, June 15th, the Freilichtmuseum Massing is kept alive. The friends of the old fire brigade parish churches, a well -known presidium in this scene, show their lovingly restored historical fire engines. These vehicles are not just old iron, they are living witnesses in technology history and are part of the permanent inventory of the Bavarian fire brigade tradition.
The volunteer fire lovers have tirelessly worked on the renovation of these “old fighters” for years. Every vehicle that is presented on Sunday tells its own story and testifies to the passion that the members put in the preservation of these unique pieces.
A look at the open -air museum
The open -air museum itself has an eventful story. It was opened on June 22, 1969 in a converted Rottaler Stockhaus, which was built in 1770. The Schusteröderhof , as the museum is called, is a real gem that illustrates the traditional peasant life. The equipment in the residential stable has developed over the years and shows typical elements of rural residential culture in the Rottal.
The museum has attracted an impressive number of visitors over the years, especially in its early days. As early as 1975, the museum had its highest visitor volume with 42,302 guests. There has been no interest in recent years: 36,658 visitors were counted in 2018. In total, more than a million people visited the open -air museum in Massing in the past 50 years.Fire brigade history in focus
