100 Years Freiwillige Feuerwehr Oberg

100 Years of Fire Brigade Tradition

The Freiwillige Feuerwehr Oberg was founded in 1926. In 2026, the association looks back on a century of fire brigade work. Over the decades, the brigade has responded to countless emergencies, trained many generations of volunteers, and established itself as an indispensable part of the village's safety infrastructure.

Celebration Weekend as a Social Highlight

The anniversary celebration is more than just an association party. It is a social highlight for the entire village community. Over three days of festivities, various programme items will cater to different target groups and showcase the fire brigade's commitment in many facets. Friendly fire brigades from the Ilsede municipality and the Peine district will travel with their own delegations.

Ceremonial Act and Celebratory Banquet

The formal highlight of the anniversary weekend is the ceremonial act with a celebratory banquet, where representatives of politics, fire brigade associations, the municipality, and friendly associations will honour the brigade and thank them for their long-standing work. Speeches, honours for deserving members, and musical contributions will mark this festive programme item.

Parade and Demonstration Drills

A grand parade will march through the village of Oberg, bringing together associations, fire brigades, and marching bands. Demonstration drills by the brigade will showcase their operational capabilities and give visitors an impression of the diverse work of a fire brigade. The demonstration drills are a fascinating experience, especially for children.

Family Programme and Festival Tent

The family programme offers games for children, small competitions, a bouncy castle, and supervised activities. The festival tent will be the social centre throughout the celebration days, offering catering, live music, and dance events. The mix of a solemn occasion and a lively folk festival atmosphere makes the anniversary celebration an unforgettable weekend.
