In order to cope with the growing volume of operations, renovation and enlargement of the mountain rescue station are essential. A functional building with parking spaces for four vehicles, a first aid room, a command center, and storage and drying areas will be added to the existing building. Completion is planned for the winter season 2024/25.
The total construction costs amount to 1,945,000 Euro. Construction is being partially funded by the state with a grant of 1,320,690 Euro. This leaves 624,310 Euro for the Todtnau Mountain Rescue Service to cover.
Donation for Renovation and Enlargement of Feldberg Mountain Rescue Station
Busch Vacuum Solutions has donated 3,000 Euro to the Todtnau mountain rescue service. The donation will be used for the urgently needed renovation and enlargement of the mountain rescue service at the top of the Feldberg, Germany’s highest mountain outside the Alps.
“The Schwarzwald Bergwacht e.V., and the Todtnau chapter in particular, would like to thank Busch Vacuum Solutions for the generous support of our project of the century: the enlargement and refurbishment of the Feldberg mountain rescue station. Thanks to this support, we are one step closer to the mammoth task of raising the necessary funds to the amount of approximately 630,000 Euro,” says David Waßmer, 1st Chairman of the Todtnau Mountain Rescue Service.
“Busch Vacuum Solutions is supporting us in making the mountain rescue service future-proof and able to be there for people in any weather, on any terrain,” he adds.
The Todtnau Mountain Rescue Service, founded in 1925, consists of 29 active voluntary members, 10 trainees, and six young people in the youth mountain rescue. These dedicated members provide the majority of the services at the Feldberg mountain rescue station, as well as looking after the premises and investing a lot of work in their maintenance. The mountain rescue service is not only the center of operations, from which up to 500 mountain rescue operations are coordinated and carried out annually, but also an important association center and training room.
Feldberg, Germany’s highest mountain outside the Alps, is home to the largest ski area in Germany and is a popular hiking area in the summer. The headquarters of Busch Vacuum Solutions in Maulburg is located near this diverse natural reserve.
