125 Years FFW Mosbach (Roth District)

Mosbach in the Roth District

Mosbach is a district in the southern Roth district in Middle Franconia, Bavaria. The Roth district is located between Nuremberg and the Franconian Lake District and is characterized by a dense landscape of smaller communities and village churches, where volunteer fire brigades remain a central part of village life to this day.

125 Years of Service — An Occasion That Counts

The Mosbach Volunteer Fire Brigade was founded in 1901. With the anniversary year 2026, it celebrates 125 years of voluntary fire and disaster relief in service of the community. The brigade is part of the Abenberg fire district in the Roth district and is organized within the Roth District Fire Brigade Association (KFV Roth).

Three Days of Festival Program

A Voluntary Institution

Behind the festival program are two years of preparation, sponsor acquisition, and logistics by the active members of the brigade. Such anniversary festivals in Bavaria are far more than just birthday celebrations – they are the most important social stage for village fire brigades and an occasion where neighboring brigades show their gratitude and solidarity in the parade.
