150 Years Serving the Community
The Volunteer Fire Brigade Hohenaltheim is celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2026. For a century and a half, volunteer firefighters have ensured fire and disaster protection for the municipality of Hohenaltheim – an occasion that will be extensively celebrated in the village.
A Traditional Fire Brigade Founding Festival
As in many Bavarian villages, the fire brigade founding festival is much more than just an association celebration: it is a local festival that brings together the entire village community and friendly brigades from the Ries. For several days, the program is characterized by the marquee, catering, brass band music, and social events. Traditionally, the highlights are the celebratory church service and the grand procession with the patron association, flag escorts, and local clubs.
Hohenaltheim in the Ries
Hohenaltheim is located in the fertile Riesgau, a basin shaped by a meteorite impact in the Donau-Ries district. The village is known for its castle and its village-based community life. The fire brigade's anniversary festival in 2026 is one of the central social events of the town.
Community and Tradition
Fire brigade anniversaries uphold a long-standing tradition: celebratory evenings with music, morning pint gatherings, processions in uniform and traditional costume, and honors for long-serving members. The 150th founding festival of the FF Hohenaltheim continues this tradition and warmly invites locals and guests alike.
