Christmas.

Despite, or perhaps because of Corona, the time has come, when we can look back with our thoughts, more and more to our childhood.
In addition to all the hectic, a little pause, a bit of security and warmth.
Something that we should definitely keep.

In this sense, we wish for Christmas, that we conserve
our friendship and contacts also.
Such gifts are unique.

We wish you and your families a Merry Christmas,
much energy, health and success for the New Year.

After 20 years of collecting, the collection has grown up to 1000 firefighter helmets from 107 countries around the world.

Fire helmet 961 to 1000

You can find the fire helmets in the section "Collection"

With the update is now the 1000th fire helmet online on this website.
In the German trade journal "The Umschau" of 1934, the author is concerned with "what a fire helmet has to endure".
An interesting point of view that was still up to date 55 years later, when the new generation of plastic helmets was introduced.

Have fun looking through

I'm looking for German and international fire helmets.

My call is open to you!

If you have a fire helmet without reference to, then I would be happy to include them in my collection.

Nice image film of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia to work in the fire department.
But also the volunteer fire departments in your area need you! 

O holy Saint Florian with
pious sense we arrive.
Let your intercessor know us
in water shortage and fire hazards.
And when in the heart it ignites
the fire of heavy guilt and sin,
then extinguish the fire, help us
that God grant us his grace.
Is it one day to the last end,
make the heart burn in love
to the Father of Mercy,
who gives us eternal bliss.

(Song by Annette Thoma)

We mourn the loss of a fire brigade comrade who died in Schleswig-Holstein during a mission.

Our compassion is for the family and the comrades.

www.derfeuerwehrhelm.de 

At operations during the storm Friederike three German firefighters were killed in the past week.

We mourn with the families and comrades. 

For a better overview, the area Germany was divided into the sub-areas "German Reich", "Weimar Republic", "Third Reich" and Federal Republic of Germany ". The already existing part of the German Democratic Republic was included here.

Due to the paragraph § 86 StGB (Federal Republic of Germany) I would like to clarify some things:

On my website are various photographs of firefighter helmets or objects, which are provided with insignia of the 3rd Reich.
According to § 86 StGB, the swastika is a forbidden sign.
With the badges I show, I neither pursue the goal of propaganda for the right-wing scene, nor do I want to score by showing the characters.

That's why I explain:

The symbols shown here do not meet the criminal offense according to § 86 and 86a StGB.
It should be noted that the representation of the shown helmets of the 3rd Reich done in connection with the German fire department history.

Thus, the badges serve the teaching of current affairs.

They therefore comply with § 86 (3) and are therefore not a criminal offense.

"Germany" 

Thank you for over 240,000 visits in the past year 2017.
I'm happy about this large number because it shows me that I'm on the right track with my website.

You are welcome to come back again this year.

John Morgen, a disabled boy from the UK, has made the collecting of badges from the emergency services and the police to his hobby.

I am glad that I could make him happy with my little gift.

He thanked me personally with this video.

Today we had a very nice visit from the USA. Joe Brown and his wife Bonny are from Lincroft NJ. I met Joe in 2004 when I took part at the Steuben Parade in New York with my Fire Department.
We had a very nice conversation and looked at the helmet collection. Of course, Joe also discovered the helmet of his fire department.

The 4th school class had discussed the structure and tasks of the fire brigade and then they have designed a common page with their photos and various fire helmets for their yearbook.

I am glad that I could help.
