35 years of ASB in Brandenburg: a festival of coexistence and humanity!

Brandenburg an der Havel, Deutschland - On June 28, 2025, the Audimax of the Technical University of Brandenburg was festively decorated, because the ASB local association Brandenburg an der Havel e.V. celebrated its impressive 35th anniversary. Mayor Steffen Scheller did not miss the opportunity to deliver his congratulations to the local association and praised the courage and the unshakable community spirit of the committed members. A great gesture that underlines the cooperation and cooperation in the city. Social -member Alexandra Adel joined the praise and described the ASB as a reliable partner who has a good hand in many situations, especially in social support.

ASB managing director Karina Knoppe looked back on the foundation of the local association, which was launched on March 24, 1990 by just seven people. Today the ASB is broadly positioned with six locations in Brandenburg on the Havel and Potsdam-Mittelmark. With a vehicle fleet of 11 special vehicles, the members perform around 200 trips every day to safely bring patients to medical dates and to support them in social activities.

Together under one roof

"We offer a wide range of services for the community," emphasizes the ASB local association on the website. This includes not only comprehensive house nursing, but also valuable places in daycare centers and geriatric care facilities. In the facilities, qualified educators and care teams ensure an all -round positive living environment that value the dignity and respect of the people entrusted to them. Everything is done here to offer the elderly and people with disabilities a high standard of living.

In 2016, the “Wünswagen” project was added, a moving offer that helps people with death to fulfill their last wishes. During the ceremony, the lines of the individual ASB facilities reported about their emotional experiences and everyday life that is often peppered with touching moments.

The story of the ASB

The Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund (ASB) has an eventful story that goes back to 1946. Asb.de describes how the association in West Germany was re-founded under the Western Allies and quickly gained in importance. In the 1950s, more than 100 ASB columns operated in West Germany. The ASB took on new tasks in nursing and continued to develop. So in the 1980s there was an expansion of child and youth welfare as well as the introduction of the first house emergency call systems.

With the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the establishment of the first ASB local association in Güstrow on January 27, 1990, the ASB showed its flexibility and commitment to create new auxiliary structures. Today's celebration in Brandenburg reflects the long tradition and tireless use of the ASB, which still has a cross -generational effect. The festival ceremoniously ended with an inclusive poem, presented by residents of an ASB facility-a complete success that was wonderfully expressed by the community spirit and the connection.
