Major fire in Nienburg: Fire brigade saves museum from flames!
On the night of Saturday, October 26, 2025, a spectacular roof structure fire broke out in an empty building on the Fresenhof grounds in Nienburg. At 11:31 p.m., the fire department was alerted to large flames coming out of the roof, supported by strong winds that pushed the flames toward an adjacent museum. When the emergency services arrived, almost half of the roof was already in flames - a huge challenge for the fire department.
The Nienburg fire department, supported by other emergency services, acted quickly to prevent the fire from spreading to the nearby museum. However, thanks to the narrow development and the strong gusts of wind, extinguishing the fire was not easy. In order to master the situation, the alert level was increased and additional forces and technology were called in. Two turntable ladders were used from different sides while a team advanced into the building using heavy breathing apparatus.
Extinguishing work completed successfully
After about 45 minutes of intensive operation, in which over 70 emergency services from the Nienburg/Weser fire department, the local operations management, the Nienburg-Heemsen hygiene group, the rescue service and the police worked together, the fire in the roof area was under control. To provide a better overview, the city had set up an on-call service to monitor the situation. Around 90 minutes after the first alarm, the forces were finally able to leave the scene of the fire. Luckily there were no injuries, which made the effort even more positive.
