Train parade in Jesingen: 2000 participants expect a big fire brigade festival!

Jesingen, Deutschland - The Jesingen volunteer fire brigade is in the spotlight: she proudly celebrates her 150th anniversary with a big festival that already started on Friday, July 4th. The highlight of the celebrations, the district fire brigade day, takes place on Sunday, July 6th. Over 2000 participants are expected to go to the parade, which begins at 1:30 p.m. in Jesingen. The route leads from Faußlerstraße via Kirchheimer Straße, Vordere Straße, Naberner Straße to Alten Weilheimer Strasse, where the festival site is waiting for guests.

This event is special because the district fire brigade day is launched again after more than ten years of break. It is solemnly opened by the chairman of the Esslingen-Nürtingen district fire brigade association. But the festival also brings traffic disruptions with it: the passage through the town of Jesingen is closed between the intersection Einsteinstrasse/Kirchheimer Straße and Vordere Straße/Kirchstrasse. Detours have already been signposted, and stopping bans apply in some areas.

celebrations and programs

The anticipation for the celebrations is reflected in the festival, which creates a mood in the marquee and at the bar on all three days. On Saturday evening, the “party night in costume” will be invited from 7 p.m. If you want to get in the mood for the day on Sunday morning, you will be invited to the festival service at 9:30 a.m., followed by a musical morning pint. And to the crowning glory, the mood will be fueled in the marquee from 4 p.m.

The Jesingen volunteer fire brigade is one of five departments of the Kirchheim fire brigade and currently has 104 relatives. Their foundation stone goes back to the time of the first fire brigades that were created in Roman times. This tradition has developed over the centuries, and the importance of the fire brigade has continued to date. While citizens were responsible for fire protection in the Middle Ages, many volunteers were created in the 19th century, especially from the ranks of the gymnastics clubs - the Meißen volunteer fire brigade is considered the first of its kind in Germany, founded in 1841. [Wikipedia] offers exciting insights into the history of the fire brigade.

traffic and bus regulations

The city administration points out that there will be restrictions on bus line traffic on Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.: stops on Kirchheimer Strasse and Vorderer Straße are not accessible during this time. Line 165 between Zell under Aichelberg, Kirchheim and Ohmden is also eliminated. The city asks the residents and guests for understanding the necessary measures so that the festival can run smoothly.

The extensive planning and organization of this event makes it clear how important the volunteer fire brigade is in the community. And with the parade, it is once again shown that firefighting comrades and community sense are very popular. Visitors can look forward to a colorful program and should keep an eye on the detour routes. A visit to the district fire brigade day is more than just an event - it is a tribute to the many years of tireless efforts for the benefit of the citizens.
