Feuerwehrmuseum Schröttinghausen

The Feuerwehrmuseum Schröttinghausen is located in a historic village school building from 1862 featuring a bell tower and Gothic windows – a real eye-catcher for anyone who enjoys experiencing history.

You can discover over four centuries of firefighting technology here: around 400 exhibits showcase the development of fire fighting in rural areas, from a fire bell dating back to 1570 to a
DKW firefighting motorcycle from 1928 and a Borgward fire truck from 1959.

Particularly fascinating is the tribute to the often volunteer and dangerous work of local fire brigades – a true family experience for everyone interested in technology and community service.
