Historical Fire Station

Built in 1911, the two-storey fire station in a bustling district of Marburg still bears witness today to the town’s long history. At its heart is the equipment shed, from which the 2nd platoon of the Volunteer Fire Brigade has been setting out on call-outs for over 112 years. The old building has been partially modernised. Thanks to its listed status, its old-world charm has been preserved. Even today, the site houses emergency and fire-fighting vehicles dating from the Nazi era right through to the 1960s. There are also a few pieces of equipment from that period which could serve as props. The old hose tower now serves as a cosy spot to relax and offers a magnificent view. The club room features a kitchen with a bar, complete with a beer tap. A fireman’s pole is also available. This filming location is ideally suited for historical film sets ranging from the Imperial era to the present day.

The historic Ketzerbach fire station in the university town of Marburg is managed by the Marburg City Council. For enquiries and filming permits, please contact the address below.
