Am vergangenen Wochenende, dem 04. bis 05. Oktober 2025, fand der Saisonabschluss der Feuerwehrjugend-Bewerbsgruppe Diesendorf–Texing–St. Gotthard im Feuerwehrhaus Diesendorf statt.

Am Samstagmorgen startete die Veranstaltung mit einem abwechslungsreichen Programm. Über den Tag verteilt wurden durch verschiedene Aktivitäten sowohl der Zusammenhalt als auch das allgemeine Feuerwehrwissen der jungen Mitglieder unter Beweis gestellt und gefördert.

Last weekend, on October 4‑5 2025, the season‑closing competition of the youth fire‑brigade team from Diesendorf, Texing, and St. Gotthard took place at the Diesendorf fire station.

On Saturday morning the event kicked off with a varied program. Throughout the day, a series of activities demonstrated and fostered both the camaraderie and the general firefighting knowledge of the young members.

At several stations the youths practiced using the portable high‑pressure pump (TS), the water cannon, and hydraulic rescue tools such as the jaws‑of‑life cutter and spreader. Later in the afternoon a simulated person‑search drill was conducted, emphasizing teamwork and vigilance.

In the evening everyone reflected together on the successful competition season. The overnight stay at the fire station provided an opportunity for friendly exchange and further strengthened the bond within the two youth fire‑brigade groups.

In summary, we can look back on a very successful competition season—a success that would not have been possible without the dedication and good cooperation of everyone involved.

#FirefighterHistory up close!
From 1990 onwards, the still very familiar green uniform, inspired by the Austrian Federal Army, was introduced.

As part of the transition to blue for the operational and service uniforms of the Lower Austrian fire departments, the green uniform was phased out in 2015.

The green uniform characterized the appearance of the #FirefighterYouth in Austria for a good 25 years.

This year, the Fire Brigade Youth Texing-St. Gotthard is celebrating its 50th anniversary!
To mark the occasion, we'll be sharing information about its founding in 1975 over the next few weeks.

We'll start with the first uniform of the Fire Brigade Youth – worn from 1975 to 1990. It consists of a green cap, blouse, and pants (already very faded in this photo), with a red T-shirt underneath.

First of some shots of my last hike on the border between loweraustria and styria. The Ötschergräben are very nice, even when it's hot.

During an excavation in #LowerAustria, we discovered #cat bones, among other things, which #archaeozoologist #KarlKunst from the @univienna took a closer look at:
In contrast to other animal bones, they showed no traces of chopping or cutting.
So what were the cats doing? #Mouse hunters? #Pets? Or simply part of everyday life between the #MiddleAge and modern times? An exciting insight into the coexistence of #humans and #animals centuries ago

The image shows the remains of small animal skeletons. Specifically, there are three skulls and a number of other bones from cats, arranged on a grey background. The bones appear to be dry and brittle, suggesting they are old or preserved specimens.

The image shows zooarchaeologist Dr. Karl Kunst, a middle-aged man with graying hair and glasses, seated at a table. He's carefully examining a small cat bone fragment held in his left hand. The table is covered with several plastic bags containing more bones. A corkboard with charts and notes is visible on the wall behind him. The overall impression is one of meticulous scientific examination of unearthed artifacts.

Evening run out toward Weissenbach and back through the peaceful Niemtal valley. Forest trails, open pastures, curious cows and the calm of dusk — just what I needed to unwind.

Scouring personalised programme-recommendations, I encountered a production I did not know existed "#JoannaLumley's #Danube" - and what a great first episode.

Places I myself have visited include #Hofbräuhaus in #Munich, the #Wachau vineyards of #LowerAustria and #Schönbrunn Palace in #Vienna. I am not going to ruïn all the lovely surprises, but have tissues to hand just in case.
