Rolf Schamberger: Farewell after 30 years in the German Fire Brigade Museum
A new section for the German Fire Brigade Museum in Fulda
On Sunday, September 1, 2024, a significant change at the top of the German Fire Brigade Museum in Fulda (Hesse) will be carried out. Rolf Schamberger, who has been leading the museum for almost three decades, retires. This is not only the end of an era, but also the beginning of a new phase for the institution.
The leadership of the museum by Schamberger significantly shaped the development of the National Central Museum for Fire Protection in Germany. He took office on July 1, 1995 and had previously worked in various art -historical and restorative institutions. It was always a matter of continuously developing the museum and establishing it as an important part of the culture of culture and memory in the region.
In the past 30 years, Schamberger has set numerous milestones. Among other things, a modern visitor depot was opened under his leadership, and the museum's permanent exhibition was completely redesigned. The scientific projects that he initiated, including the processing of Jewish life in connection with the fire brigade - are also particularly worth mentioning. These initiatives contributed to making Fulda internationally known in the professional world.
The project, which Schamberger launched in 2006, is particularly forward -looking for a joint museum of the German fire brigades and the technical relief organization. This innovative idea is intended to present German population protection comprehensively and address an important social issue in the context of modern danger.
The farewell of Rolf Schamberger will offer an opportunity to look back on the successes of the past few years and to give an outlook on the coming time. At this festive reception, the new management of the museum is also presented, which will continue to shape the future of the location. In view of the change at the top, it is of great importance for the community to preserve the continuity and the goals of the institution.
The event will take place on September 1, 2024, from 9:30 a.m., in the German Fire Brigade Museum, St. Laurentius-Straße 3, 36041 Fulda. All interested parties are cordially invited to participate in order to celebrate this significant moment.
