Hamburg's fire brigade academy: New buildings for the rescue workers of the future!

On April 7, 2025, the opening of two new buildings was made an important step in the training of fire brigade members in Hamburg. Hamburg is investing in the improvement of personnel and infrastructure for the police and fire brigade to increase operational readiness. Prominent representatives, including interior senator Andy Grote, fire department manager Jörg Sauermann and Martin Sowinski, managing director of Sprinkenhof GmbH, were on site.

The expansion of the fire brigade academy on Bredowstrasse comprises a five -storey new building for lecture halls and offices as well as another five -storey training building. These are specifically designed to improve the practical training for the young people of the Hamburg fire brigade. Particularly noteworthy is the training building, which has a gross area of ​​around 3,080 m². It is designed as a training rescue station and has functional areas of a rescue station on the ground floor and a vehicle hall for four ambulances.

On the upper floor of the training building, simulation rooms, meeting rooms as well as storage and technology areas can be found. The facade is made of bricks, which creates a harmonious connection to the existing buildings. The neighboring lecture hall building fulfills modern requirements for accessibility as an angle building with around 5,400 m² gross area and offers access via an elevator system and three stairwells.

The total costs for this comprehensive project amount to around 33 million euros. The aim is to strengthen the training and thus the security of the city. The statements of interior senator Andy Grote and other present underline how important these new buildings are for the future work of the fire brigade, especially in view of the progressive professionalization in this area.

vocational training of emergency paramedics

A central element of the fire brigade academy is the training of the emergency paramedics, a demanding job profile that has been regulated with a state professional law since 2014. This three -year training includes various learning locations such as rescue guards, emergency services schools and clinics. The framework curriculum of the academy is organized in such a way that theory and practice are closely interlinked.

Effective training for emergency paramedics is guaranteed by regular simulation training and close cooperation with large Hamburg hospitals and the teaching rescue station. The training offer focuses on the development of skills that are important for professional challenges in operations and promotes teamwork and communication, especially in stressful situations.

The direct care of the trainees takes place by a multidisciplinary team of experienced specialists, which is recruited from the areas of emergency services, medicine, fire brigade and health professions. The trainees go through a structured and practical training that aims to prepare them for their future tasks as best as possible.

With the opening of the new facilities, not only the infrastructure of the fire brigade academy is modernized, but also an important foundation for the high -quality training of the emergency services, which are of crucial importance for security in Hamburg.
