New fire station in Hagen: Investment for safety and the future!
On November 29, 2025 there will be exciting news from Hagen: The fire protection committee has cleared the way for the construction of two new fire station houses in Hagen and Wersabe. The members unanimously voted in favor of the upcoming buildings, which are designed to meet current requirements and the associated usage figures. Hygiene areas and training areas are part of the concept so that future emergency services are offered an appropriate framework.
The Hagen fire station will be built behind the E-Center, while the fire station in Wersabe will be built on the site of the existing building. In particular, there were discussions about the parking arrangement in Hagen. Residents were concerned about possible access problems in Wersabe. But the idea of a modern fire station also arouses anticipation.
The concept in numbers
The estimated construction costs for the Hagen tool shed amount to 4.7 million euros, while costs for Wersabe are expected to be around 2.03 million euros. The latter is also used multifunctionally as a village center, with parking spaces for vehicles, social rooms, storage rooms and workshops. Particularly pleasing: The new fire station in Wersabe will offer space for 55 active firefighters, including ten women.
- Baukosten Hagener Gerätehaus: 4,7 Millionen Euro
- Baukosten Wersabe: 2,03 Millionen Euro
- Kapazität Wersabe: 55 aktive Männer und 10 Frauen
In order to support the financing, an application for funding is submitted in the Zile program, which is intended to cover up to 50% of the costs for the village community center in Wersabe. Such funding opportunities are not new. How on regierungsoberfranken.bayern.de As can be read, there are also attractive state subsidies in Bavaria for the procurement of vehicles and equipment for fire protection. The general renovation of fire stations will also be funded from January 1, 2025.
What is necessary?
The existing fire station in Hagen no longer meets the current requirements. Changing rooms and function rooms are too small, which is why a room book with the latest requirements was created in collaboration with the municipal fire chief. In addition, the emergency control vehicle (ELW) of the municipal fire department will be stationed in Hagen, which illustrates the need for suitable storage rooms and a training area with a washing area.
The challenges that arise from providing safe and functional fire stations cannot be underestimated. On safe-firefighting.de It is emphasized that the fire brigade must assume responsibility for the structural and technical facilities. The safety of the emergency services is the top priority, and this also includes the sanitary equipment of the fire stations. Opportunities for funding are urgently needed, especially in financially weak municipalities.
Finally, the municipality of Hagen will discuss new uniforms in exchange with neighboring municipalities in order to equip the emergency services with modern visual equipment. The future of the fire department in Hagen and Wersabe will experience a new beginning not only structurally, but also in terms of equipment.
