Groundbreaking ceremony in Donzdorf

The groundbreaking ceremony on June 9, 2026, marked the start of an extraordinary construction project in Donzdorf: the renovation and expansion of Germany’s oldest fire station.

The historic building, which is listed as a historic landmark, holds outstanding historical and cultural significance for the town of Donzdorf and the entire region. The goal of the project is to preserve the historical identity of this unique structure while also laying the groundwork for its sustainable use in the future.

The renovation places high demands on planning and execution. Careful handling of the existing building fabric and close coordination with historic preservation authorities form the basis for all measures. Historic elements are preserved and thoughtfully integrated into a modern design concept. The result is a successful blend of history and contemporary architecture.

The project is much more than a traditional building renovation. It makes an important contribution to the sustainable preservation of existing structures, strengthens the historic town center, and preserves a significant piece of the city’s history for future generations. At the same time, the project serves as an exemplary demonstration of how historic buildings can be revitalized and given new life through careful renovation.

With the groundbreaking ceremony, a new chapter is now beginning in the long history of Germany’s oldest fire station—honoring its past while looking clearly toward the future.
