Feuerwehrmuseum Kaufbeuren Ostallgäu e.V.

Feuerwehrmuseum Kaufbeuren Ostallgäu e.V. offers you an exciting journey through the history of fire protection 🔥.

Try out a working replica of a historic hand pump yourself, experiencing how muscle power was used to bring water for firefighting in the past. Discover detailed, hand-carved dioramas from the Middle Ages that vividly show historical fire brigades and the early days of fire fighting.

For children 8 and older, there is a popular children's tour with ten interactive stations – and a small keepsake awaits as a reward.

Also exciting is the special exhibition Augsburg is Burning! featuring a replica air raid shelter, a life-size diorama, and numerous exhibits telling the story of fire brigade operations during the bombing raids of 1944.

Historical insights are also offered through stories from the Peasants' War 500 years ago: raids, arson, and the devastation of over 1,000 castles and villages powerfully illustrate the local history.
