Topping -out ceremony in Perleberg: New fire station as a security guarantee for the city!

Perleberg, Deutschland - In Perleberg, a significant step in the history of the city was recently celebrated. On July 11, 2025, the topping -out ceremony for the new fire station in Quitzower Straße took place, a project that represents the city's largest new building project with an estimated cost framework of 12 million euros. The celebration announced the official conclusion of the shell and the citizens and firefighters present were enthusiastic about progress. Mayor Axel Schmidt did not miss the opportunity to express his pride in the work done and emphasized that the construction project sets an important signal for a powerful infrastructure. Finally, according to Schmidt, the fire brigade must be able to help quickly and efficiently.

The old fire station in Feldstrasse no longer corresponded to the security standards. Low gates that even the modern fire engines could not accommodate, missing separate changing rooms and a suction system for vehicle gases were deficiencies that, according to the fire brigade, have belonged to the agenda for a long time. As early as 2020, the accident fund had found that the guard no longer met the necessary conditions. Therefore, the new building was long overdue. Vice Mayor Hagen Boddin spoke of a possible borrowing to cover the costs, while volunteers were looking for funding-albeit initially without success. A ray of hope finally came from the Brandenburg Interior Ministry, which gave a funding commitment of 1 million euros for the project.

a home for the fire brigade

With the new guard, the Perleberger fire brigade is not only modernized, but also receives considerably improved conditions. Ten parking spaces for the emergency vehicles as well as exercise areas and an exercise storm are planned. The new fire station is also located more centrally on the old fairground, so that the fire brigade can also be used faster for the surrounding places. City military leader Maik Müller described the building as an architectural highlight during the topping -out ceremony and as a symbol of determination and security in the community. Together with local defense guide David Roß, he led the guests through the new building, and visitors also expressed positive feedback.

The new fire brigade building is a commitment to the tireless work of the firefighters on site. With currently 54 active firefighters and men, it is clear how great the need for a modern guard is. Over 100 missions were carried out this year, and the Perleberger fire brigade is even in possession of the only drone unit in the entire Prignitz. The new guard will support this important work and ensure that the fire brigade can continue to act quickly and effectively.

financing and support

The financing concept for the new building provides that the city provides a share of at least 40 percent of the total expenses, while the grant from the municipal infrastructure program can make up to 60 percent. This funding is open to all providers of the local fire protection as long as they have received no other funding for the same purpose. It is a significant step in the right direction that shows that the village community is willing to invest in the future of fire protection.

Overall, the construction of the fire station is not only a structural necessity, but also a strong sign of appreciation and support for fire work in Perleberg. "There is something," you think and you can be excited to see how the project will develop in the coming years.
