Bautzen honors his fire brigade heroes: monument and coat of honor for Ebersbach!
Bautzen, Deutschland - In Bautzen, an emotional day was celebrated on July 13, 2025: The city honored the merits of Johann August Nimschke and other late fire comrades. Nimschke, who lost his life in a major fire in Seidau in 1876, was recalled in the memory of the citizens after the restoration of his venerable monument in the diving cemetery. On this solemn occasion, around 700 Bautzeners, who gave their lives their lives over the centuries when used against fire, were symbolically present. This ceremony in memory of the fire brigade heroes was a significant contribution to the city's memory culture, as all-lausitz.de reported.
The freshly restored tomb of Johann August Nimschke has now been publicly shown in one festival. The comrade Heinz Ebersbach gave an impressive speech and gave a historical classification of the new monument. Mayor Karsten Vogt and Mayor Dr. Robert Böhmer thanked the many participants for their support in the restoration, which was described as a manual and emotional challenge. Ebersbach, which is closely connected to the fire brigade, received the "coat of arms of the city of Bautzen" during this ceremony - one of the highest awards for civic engagement, as the Bautzen fire brigade determines (

What can society get better than people who risk their lives every day to pay recognition? This tradition is impressively alive through the events in Bautzen.

Such efforts are essential for the collective memory, and the city of Bautzen has taken a significant step towards a lively culture
