In addition to the publications on cuestrin.de, this year there is once again something printed:
In cooperation with the chairman of the Association for the History of Küstrin e.V. I have written a commemorative publication for the anniversary of the volunteer fire department in Küstrin-Kietz.
The 150-page book covers the period from the founding of the first fire brigade in 1872 to 2022. For this purpose, I used mainly specially collected from my archive - as well as material from the association's archives. The fire department itself contributed a large box of materials, which unfortunately only cover the last 30 years.
The chairman of the association, Mr. Rogge, contributed material from his archives, established contacts with local as well as Brandenburg-wide (former) firefighters in order to be able to clarify open questions and proofread the commemorative publication several times. This joint work of the board was presented in the context of the anniversary celebrations on 19.08.2023.
The book is available from the board of the association and soon in bookstores. Further information can be found on the website of the association: Festschrift 150 Jahre Feuerwehr Küstrin(-Kietz) 1872 - 2022.
