Description
Haunted by devastating fires and constantly living in fear of flames, people have lived since the Middle Ages. Three times, Teterow was overcome by a destructive fire. In February 1868, the Teterow Volunteer Fire Brigade was founded. The handover of the new pump house at the mill pond in 1896 was a hard-fought recognition for the comrades. For the next 70 years, it would be the home of the brigade. After a severe storm in the autumn of 1964, the hose tower tilted so much, that it had to be torn down. In the mid-1990s, the old pump house was restored and the hose tower was faithfully rebuilt. Today, the building houses a fire brigade museum.
