Concept
The Amtswehrfest brings together the volunteer fire brigades of the Malchin district on Lake Kummerow for a joint annual festival. A different location hosts the event each year; in 2026, Basedow will be the venue. The festival combines internal competitions — extinguishing attack, knot tying, obstacle course — with a public program for citizens.
Program
During the day, the brigades compete against each other in various competition classes; in parallel, operational vehicles, technical equipment, and demonstration formats are presented to the public. Catering with snacks, coffee and cake, hands-on activities for children, and a family program round off the day. In the evening, there is traditionally a social program with live music or a DJ.
Local Context
Basedow is a small community in the Mecklenburg Lake District (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern), nestled in the Lenné park landscape on Lake Kummerow. The historic village church with its Gercke organ from 1683 is known beyond the region. The Amtswehrfest complements the region's event landscape: rural club life, voluntary fire protection, and community festival culture in a touristically shaped lake landscape.
Amtswehrfest — edition 2026
On Saturday, May 30, 2026, starting at 11:30 AM, the Basedow Volunteer Fire Brigade will host the Amtswehrfest of the Malchin district on Lake Kummerow. On the festival grounds in Basedow, the local brigades will compete in disciplines such as extinguishing attack, knot tying, and obstacle course. In parallel, operational vehicles and technical equipment will be exhibited; demonstration drills will provide insight into the work of the volunteer forces. Catering, a family program, and hands-on activities for children will complement the day.
