Description [EN]
The draft of a fire extinguishing ordinance, according to which every citizen could be called upon to fight fires, dates back to 1832. By the mid-19th century, there was already a mandatory fire brigade. The mill pond, Kahn brook, Mahl brook, the Börnung, as well as the wells in the city area served as water sources. The water supply line installed in 1866 also had 11 hydrant connections.
In February 1868, the Teterow Volunteer Fire Brigade was founded. The handover of the new hose house at the mill pond in 1896 was a hard-won recognition for the comrades. For the next 70 years, it was to be the home of the brigade. After a severe storm in autumn 1964, the hose tower leaned so much that it had to be demolished. In the mid-1990s, the old hose house was renovated, and the hose tower was faithfully reconstructed.
Today, the building houses a fire brigade museum. This museum is cared for by the comrades of the fire brigade of the hill ring town of Teterow. On display is the firefighting technology of times long past.
