To mark its 75th anniversary, the German Federal Agency for Technical Relief (THW), an institutional member of DKKV, is holding an anniversary celebration at the Maritim Hotel Bonn on 17 May 2025 with guests from politics, society and partner organizations. The event will focus on the history, successes and challenges of THW. As part of this celebration, a press conference will be held at which THW President Sabine Lackner and Federal Spokesperson Wolfgang Lindmüller will provide information about the importance of THW for Germany and the future. Media representatives will have the opportunity to put questions directly to the THW President and the THW Federal Spokesperson on the subject of civil protection and disaster control. With around 88,000 volunteers, the THW is a central pillar of civil protection in Germany and is active internationally and therefore also plays an important role for the DKKV.
Registrations for the press conference are possible until May 11, 2025 via email. Further information on registration and 75 years of THW can be found here.
