A Hub Fire Brigade with Tradition
With its approximately 280 members, the Volunteer Fire Brigade Sehlem is one of the larger brigades in the southern Hildesheim region. As a hub fire brigade, it possesses the appropriate vehicles and special equipment, which are also called upon for operations beyond the municipal borders. Its youth fire brigade ensures a pipeline of new recruits, and the brigade's own music group accompanies numerous events in the region.
125 Years of Voluntary Work
When a volunteer fire brigade reaches 125 years of age, it looks back on generations of men and women who have dedicated their free time to protecting human lives, property, and the environment. The anniversary celebration thanks these active and former members, acknowledges the support of their families, and publicly demonstrates the importance of volunteerism in fire protection.
Sehlem, Lamspringe, and the Leinebergland
The district of Sehlem is part of the Klosterdorf (monastery village) community of Lamspringe, situated at the transition from the Hildesheimer Wald (Hildesheim Forest) to the Leinebergland. The intact club culture, which includes sports clubs, music groups, marksmen's associations, and especially the fire brigade, shapes the image of the municipality. The FFW Sehlem's 2026 anniversary celebration is a highlight in the event calendar and also offers visitors from outside an opportunity to experience a typical Lower Saxon festival day.
