FFW Teunz since 1876

The Volunteer Fire Brigade Teunz was founded in 1876 – a few years after the founding of the German Empire. 150 years later, the brigade is still an essential part of the village's safety and club structure. 32 active firefighters, plus honorary members and a vibrant youth section, characterize today's FFW Teunz. The age range of active members from 16 to 33 years shows: Teunz has an unusually young brigade – an important indicator of its vitality.

Festival Weekend May 29th to June 1st, 2026

The festival weekend spans four days and follows the classic structure of Bavarian fire brigade anniversaries: Festival evening on Friday with festival tent opening, ceremony and gala evening on Saturday, large parade on Sunday with friendly brigades and clubs from the Schwandorf district, and the festival conclusion on Monday with a morning pint and family program. Festival director is Adolf Hammer, club chairman Christian Kühner.

Godfather Brigade and Friendly Brigades

The focus of every fire brigade anniversary is the search for a godfather brigade and an honorary patron. This was driven forward in spring 2026. The parades at Bavarian fire brigade anniversaries typically attract 30-50 friendly brigades and clubs – traditional costume groups, shooting clubs, veterans' and soldiers' associations, brass bands. This tradition is also maintained in Teunz.
