Feuerwehrmuseum Hannover is a specialized museum dedicated to the history of firefighting in the city, formerly located at Feuerwehrstraße 1 in the Calenberger Neustadt district. Founded in 1980 by a group of passionate firefighters, the museum occupied the upper floor of a historic school building that once belonged to Fire Station 1. It showcased over 1,500 original artifacts across 230 square meters, including uniforms, helmets, breathing apparatuses, fire extinguishers, and rescue equipment dating from the 18th century to the present. Visitors could explore the evolution of fire protection and emergency response in Hanover, with highlights such as a horse-drawn hand pump from 1892 and historical fire alarms. The museum also hosted special exhibitions, including model displays and archival films during events like the Night of MuseumsHannover Online. Although currently closed following the relocation of the fire department, its collection remains preserved, awaiting a potential new venue to continue its mission of public education and heritage preservation.
