The new building of the Bavarian Red Cross (BRK) in Unterschleissheim has a signal effect. The city spent two years building Furtweg and the house will open on Saturday.
The new building is a stroke of luck for the BRK's preparedness: 140 men and women are active in the city. The photos of all emergency managers since it was founded in 1952 hang here, the men on the left and the women on the right. There is now space for all emergency vehicles, even the equipment van sanitary ward for 25 people, which was the impetus for a new building in 2009 because it was too big for the old hall. In the stairwell on the way to the first floor, the “ancestral gallery” stands out. A city map covers an entire wall. Operations are coordinated here - right up to the event of a disaster, be it a blackout, bomb threat, chemical accident, water outage or snow disaster.
