125 Years Volunteer Fire Brigade Haag
The Volunteer Fire Brigade Haag is celebrating its 125th anniversary in 2026. Founded around 1901, the brigade is one of the traditional fire brigades in the Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen district. Haag is a district of Markt Bechhofen, a market town in the Franconian part of the district. A fire brigade anniversary of this magnitude is a major event in rural Bavaria, involving the entire village community and the surrounding fire brigades.
Festival Weekend with Parade
The anniversary festival follows the classic schedule of a Bavarian fire brigade anniversary: a multi-day festival weekend with a large festival tent, brass band music, festival activities, and catering. The highlight is traditionally the grand parade on the festival Sunday, with friendly fire brigades, clubs, and music bands from the district marching through the town. A festival service and a morning pint are also integral parts of the program.
Integrated into the District
The festival is listed in the official fire brigade festivals calendar of the Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen District Fire Command. The fire brigade festivals in the district form a regular rhythm of club life throughout the year, where brigades visit and support each other. The 125th anniversary of the FFW Haag is part of this tradition.
Bechhofen in the Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen District
