New armory of FF Köflach: 7.4 million for the future

The Köflach volunteer fire brigade is currently celebrating not only its 150th anniversary, but also the symbolic groundbreaking ceremony for its new armory, which is said to be completed in November 2025.

almost could be said that the new armory of FF Köflach and the AKH Hietzing in Vienna have one thing in common: the same architect, Thomas Pucher. However, the financial difference is enormous, while the hospital in Vienna should cost over 700 million euros, the costs for the armory remain with amount of 7.4 million euros. A remarkable construction project that goes hand in hand with a lot of effort and planning and is supposed to catapult the Köflach fire brigade into modern times.

The new armory: a center for training and operations

With many high -tackled goals and requirements that Abi Markus Murgg placed on the new building, it should meet modern standards for the next five decades. The architecture of the building will offer eight parking spaces and two reserve places so that the firefighters can quickly and efficiently deploy their missions. There is also no need in the areas of training and training: Special rooms, social areas and even a place to practice for the fire brigade will give.
