A Fire Brigade with 150 Years of History
Founded in 1876, the Lohen Volunteer Fire Brigade is one of the oldest brigades in the market town of Abenberg in the Roth district (AGS 09576) in Middle Franconia. Lohen is a district incorporated into Abenberg, and its community life has traditionally been strongly shaped by the fire brigade – it serves as both an emergency response organization and the social heart of the village.
A Typical Franconian Fire Brigade Anniversary
Fire brigade anniversaries in Franconia follow a well-established pattern: a celebratory church service in the local church, a ceremonial act with speeches from local dignitaries and association representatives, and a parade through the village with friendly brigades, brass bands, and clubs. Often, a celebratory evening with dancing follows. The 2026 anniversary festival in Lohen will adhere to this structure.
The Market Town of Abenberg
The market town of Abenberg, located between Roth and Spalt, is known regionally for its distinctive castle overlooking the town and its Bobbin Lace Museum. Lohen is located a few kilometers outside the main town and, like other districts, belongs to the market area. For the district of Lohen, the fire brigade's 150th anniversary in 2026 is the event of the year.
150 Years FF Lohen — edition 2026
The 150th anniversary of the Lohen Volunteer Fire Brigade will be celebrated on May 16, 2026, with an anniversary festival in the district of Lohen. As is customary for Franconian fire brigade anniversaries, a celebratory church service, a parade of friendly brigades, and a celebratory evening are expected.
Specific program details will be published by the Lohen Fire Brigade and the Market Town of Abenberg in the weeks leading up to the event. The festival is embedded within the close-knit community of clubs and associations in the Market Town of Abenberg in the Roth district.
