With the merging of the two state fire brigade schools, the state of Lower Saxony follows a recommendation of the final report for Ensuring fire protection in Lower Saxony with special consideration of demographic change of the Lower Saxony Ministry of the Interior and Sport from 2010. [3] The two locations in Celle and Loy are continued. The training and further training of the volunteer firefighters from Bremen is also carried out there. [4]

History of the Celle location [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

On April 26, 1931, the first fire brigade school in the province of Hanover was opened in Celle. The facility was in the buildings of a former leather factory on Biermannstrasse. All firefighters entrusted with management functions had to complete their prescribed courses there. The lettering was on the roof of the building to the railway side Hannoversche Provincial Fire Brigade School appropriate. Walter quickly broadcast the local management of the school by the chairman of the Provincial Fire Brigade Association Hannover, Senator Carl Freundel from Peine.

The only employed employee was then fire chief Wilhelm Flachsbart from the Celle volunteer fire brigade, which with his wife and two female aids ensured that the company worked including school -owned cuisine. The other teachers worked on a voluntary basis in the early years. These included personalities from the areas of the fire protection (such as the fire brigade association, the Brandkasse, accident insurance, the forest administration and managers of the volunteer fire brigades and professional fire brigades).

At the beginning of school operations, the school only had two portable pump and a hand pressure injection. By 1934, vehicles from the Celle volunteer fire brigade were used for training on fire engines. On November 25, 1932, the association office of the Provincial Fire Brigade Association from Lüneburg was moved to Celle to the fire brigade school. The construction of a fire house began in autumn 1934. At the beginning of 1935 the house of the commercial agency Karl Stelter, Wittinger Strasse 9, was acquired. A little later, the school building was expanded. On May 14, 1935, the fire house was handed over to its provision in the presence of numerous representatives of urban and state authorities. As of September 1, 1938, the school received a full-time fire department director with the 38-year-old Hermann Freiherr von der Bussche.

During the Second World War, the fire brigade school had to perform changed tasks. From a few documents that still exist, it can be seen that the teaching material plans and the course types had to be tailored to the war events. The main focus was on the fire protection training of the forces for air protection and in the perception of the fire protection service by setting up a mobile unit (readiness). Men and later also women had to be trained in special courses for air protection. Training forces were used for the formation of so -called mobile units, which became active in various damage events, such as the mineral oil bearing fires that occur in the Celler area. The number of course participants fell temporarily to the stand of 1931. In mid -March 1945, however, a course with 45 participants was carried out.

Towards the end of the war, on April 12, 1945, the permanent staff of the fire service willingness in the basement were captured by the British troops at short notice. The buildings were damaged by blasting on the harbor railway bridge, the inventory partly looted or destroyed. The existing devices and the documents of the school were almost completely lost. School operations inevitably came to a standstill.

The school director, Hermann von der Bussche, had to go to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp with some helpers on April 18, 1945. The water supply was produced there and thus improved the hygienic conditions for the survivors. The Bussche became a provisional head of the provisional fire service, and in cooperation with the British, the regional fire extinguisan was temporarily rebuilt.

After the end of the war, the old teachers under director of the Bussche started. In December 1945, the first 23 participants appeared for a machine operator course.

On October 14, 1974, a generous new building on Bremer Weg 164 could be obtained. A few days later, on October 20, 1974, headmaster Heinz Bartels welcomed the first course participants in the new building. [5]

In the 1990s, the accommodation for the course participants was expanded by a new accommodation building with a contemporary accommodation in 2-bed rooms.

At the beginning of the 2010s, planning began to rebuild the entire school location on the site of the former Freiherr von-Fritsch barracks in the Celler district. The first construction work began in 2012, and the entire fire brigade school is moved to be moved gradually. [6] However, the schedule for this has been postponed again and again over the past few years, so that both locations are operated in parallel over several years.

The administrative department in Celle has been headed by the lawyer and former triathlete Sandra Wallenhorst since 2017.

History of the Loy location [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

The Oldenburg State Fire Brigade Association (OLV) acquired the then estate house “Haus Osterberg” on October 22, 1929, including an approx. 3.5 hectare property. The necessary renovations and extensions were financed as well as the procurement of the teaching and visual material including strength injections by issuing shares and a lottery.

On August 9, 1930, the home and training center of the OLV was handed over to its destination by the then state fire chief Ibo Koch in a solemn form in the presence of many guests of honor. Courses were only held in October to April with regard to the agricultural Free State of Oldenburg. In the rest of the year, the creation of conferences and meetings of the association and as a home (recreation home) for firefighters with their families served. By law of September 10, 1933, the OLV was dissolved and the successor organization “State Fire Brigade Association Oldenburg” directly subordinated to the Oldenburg Ministry of the Interior.

Even if the Free State of Oldenburg granted his own budget, the upcoming construction work could only be financed through collections and donations. Subsequently, a practice hall with apprenticeships and a fire house were built in 1935, in 1936 a fire-fighting pond, device accommodation and the hose rock tower as well as a garage and residential building in 1937. According to the law on the fire extinguishing of November 23, 1938, the school premises passed to the Free State of Oldenburg, whereby a change in the administration did not occur. In this way, the fire brigade training could also be continued during the war.

Even before the official end of the war on May 8, 1945, Canadian troops arrived on the school premises, which claimed the Osterberg house and the front buildings. Nevertheless, courses could be carried out again from autumn 1945, using all makeshift options. After the founding of the state of Lower Saxony on November 1, 1946, the training facility was subordinate to the Lower Saxony Ministry of the Interior. Due to the increasing number of participants by expanding the catchment area, there was a need to extend the training to the entire site again. The efforts to evacuate the Osterberg house were reinforced and finally the occupying powers moved on March 24, 1948. After considerable repair work and new inventory, the apprenticeship was resumed to the extent to be resumed at the end of 1948.

Since then, the site of the Osterberg house has been used exclusively for training purposes for the voluntary members of the volunteer fire brigades as well as for relatives of the professional and work fire brigades under the name “Lower Saxony State Fire Brigade School Loy”. In order to be able to meet the further developing requirements for the training, new construction and maintenance measures were carried out again and again. A small vehicle hall and a farm building were built in the 1950s, which is now used as a respiratory protection workshop. In the 1960s, two new classrooms and the hose workshop were built. The 1970s were particularly characterized by the repeated expansion of the vehicle hall and the vehicle -compatible attachment of the paths and exercise areas. The 1980s and 1990s were mainly used for large renovation and renovation measures. During this time, today’s appearance was created because the Osterberg house was completely renovated and partially gutted. After the completion of a new fire training house in 2009, a modern teaching building is currently being built after demolition of the practice hall and the fire house.

Some courses were carried out at both locations, such as:

The following courses were only made at the Celle location:

And only at the Loy location were the courses:

  • Instructors fired fire exercises, fueled,
  • Introduction to staff work,
  • Introduction to staff work for rods HVB,
  • Multipliers in fall protection,
  • Organizational head of emergency services

offered.

In order to be able to optimally train the members of the fire brigade for their missions, you can find a solid-fired exercise system on the site in Celle, in which you can train extreme situations in fire fighting under realistic conditions.

Supporting the development of the school institution is the goal of the support association, which has accompanied the path of the Lower Saxony Academy for Fire and Disaster Protection – Celle location since 2004.
