Fire Brigade Festival with Spritzenweihe

The Hallenfest of the FFW Arnschwang is a classic Bavarian fire brigade festival that brings together the village community of Arnschwang (Cham district). The occasion and highlight in 2026 is the Spritzenweihe – the ceremonial church blessing of the brigade's new operational vehicle.

The Tradition of Vehicle Consecration

The consecration of a new fire engine is a significant ceremonial act in Bavaria: a member of the clergy blesses the vehicle, which will serve to protect the citizens in the future. A patron association, flag escorts, and friendly fire brigades accompany the act, which is traditionally embedded in a larger fire brigade festival.

Festival Activities and Sociability

Around the Spritzenweihe, the FFW Arnschwang invites you to festival activities with brass music, hearty catering, and convivial get-togethers. The Hallenfest is an expression of the strong voluntary commitment of the fire brigade and its connection to the village.

Arnschwang in the Bavarian Forest

Arnschwang, the "home of the Waldschrazel," is located in the Cham district near the Czech border. Club life shapes the village – the fire brigade's Hallenfest is one of the fixed social events of the year.
