Double Anniversary in the Rhön
In 2026, the Oberleichtersbach Volunteer Fire Brigade is celebrating an outstanding anniversary: 125 years of FFW Oberleichtersbach and 100 years of the Soldiers' and Comradeship Association. Oberleichtersbach is a municipality in the state of Bavaria, in the district of Bad Kissingen in Lower Franconia, on the edge of the Rhön near Bad Brückenau.
Tradition of Fire Brigade Festivals
Fire brigade anniversaries hold a special significance in the Rhön. They honor the voluntary commitment of the volunteer fire brigades, which have ensured fire and disaster protection in rural areas for over a century, and are also social highlights that bring the village community together.
A Year of Celebration in Several Stages
The anniversary is not celebrated on a single weekend but throughout the entire year 2026. The celebration begins with a St. Florian's Mass at the end of April in honor of St. Florian, the patron saint of fire brigades. In the summer, a nostalgia evening will recall the history of the brigade. The grand festival weekend at the beginning of September marks the culmination.
The Grand Festival Weekend
The multi-day festival weekend around the first Sunday in September traditionally includes the opening of the festival tent with a beer tapping ceremony, party evenings with live music, a festival service, and a grand parade with friendly brigades, associations, and music bands from the region. A children's and family program rounds off the festivities.
Highlight in the Bad Brückenau Region
For Oberleichtersbach and the Bad Kissingen district, the double anniversary in 2026 is a special event. It combines the commemoration of 125 years of fire brigade history and 100 years of the Comradeship Association with Franconian festival culture, making the municipality an attraction in the Rhön region throughout the year.
