Central Fire Station Bad Cannstatt on Saturday, October 11, 2025
Dear Members and Guests,
We invite you join us on Saturday, October 11, 2025 to enjoy a special and exclusive guided tour of the Central Fire Station in Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt.
The Fire Station in Bad Cannstadt started out as a Volunteer Fire Department. Around 1906 it was converted into a Professional Fire Department and has been in operation since then as one of five in the urban area of Stuttgart. In 2002 the Fire Station became the Central Fire Station of Stuttgart; and in April 2006, it became the control center (Leitstelle) for the entire city of Stuttgart.
We will meet at 14:30 at the Fire Station at the gate to the yard (to enter from Daimler Strasse – pls see map >>). The guided tours (1x English / 1x German) will start at 15:00 and will last about two hours. The tours include general information about the fire station’s history and the emergency spectrum, the fire department fleet for various operations and the control center to handle all incoming emergency calls.
At approx. 17:00h we will walk as a group to the restaurant “The Little Greek Taverna” in Bad Cannstatt, offering traditional Greek cuisine in a cozy atmosphere. You will make your menu choice à la carte. Please let us know with your reservation if you will be joining us for dinner.
Cost: 0 € for members; 5 € for non-members – will be collected on the day of the event.
The number of participants is limited, first come, first served – members have priority.
Note: Firemen seem to have a great desire for snacks, cakes and sweets. So, feel free to bring whatever you want to donate instead of a gratuity – all goodies will be appreciated.
Please make your reservation no later than Monday, 06 October, 2025 with:
Ralf Faustmann: email r.faustmann@gac1948.de – or –
Ron Joslin: e-mail r.joslin@gac1948.de
