Three-day founding festival of the Volunteer Fire Brigade Gennach in the Augsburg district
The Volunteer Fire Brigade Gennach was founded in 1876 and in 2026 looks back on 150 years of club and brigade history. Gennach is a district of the municipality of Langerringen in the Augsburg district, in the Bavarian-Swabian region. The club is based at Bgm.-Fischer-Straße 10 and is part of the municipality's vibrant club life, which is evident not only in fire brigade activities but also in the carnival ball and other club festivals.
The founding festival runs from July 3 to 5, 2026 – a classic three-day format, as is customary in Swabia and Bavaria for brigade anniversaries. The venue is the Gennach festival grounds. The opening on Friday evening is the festival evening with the opening of the festival tent and live music, Saturday brings the District Fire Brigade Day or ceremonial assembly, and Sunday features a festive church service, a festival parade of brigades from the Augsburg district, and festival operations in the tent.
Bavarian-Swabia maintains a particularly rich fire brigade festival culture. The festival calendar of the Augsburg District Fire Brigade Association lists anniversaries for 125, 135, and 150 years in the coming years. The 150th anniversary of the FF Gennach is one of the larger brigade anniversaries in 2026 in the district and an occasion for residents, friendly brigades, and the entire community to celebrate together for three days.
The municipality of Langerringen is located about 25 km south of Augsburg, between the Wertach and Lech rivers. It comprises the districts of Langerringen, Schwabmühlhausen, and Gennach. In Langerringen itself, the FF already celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2023 – the FF Gennach follows in 2026 with its own festival weekend.
