Memorial to the largest railway accident on German soil

Lonely and deserted... You can't say that here. This wonderful mill is actually located right in the middle of a new development.

The station is located on the Berlin-Magdeburg line. The station building is dark red.

This memorial is located right in front of the station. It is hard to imagine what the accident caused back then.

Please keep the area clean ✌🏻

Founded March 28, 1874, Around 28 fire brigade members, including three women, are currently doing their voluntary service here to protect the common good, There are also 1 command vehicle, 2 tank fire engines, 1 fire department vehicle, 1 turntable ladder, 1 advance equipment vehicle, 1 rescue vehicle, 2 crew transport vehicles and a multi-purpose boat available. The Jerichower Land district provides the OF Genthin with a hazardous goods equipment vehicle as a component of the environmental fire brigade/hazardous materials train. Approximately 120 to 130 missions are carried out every year; in 2008 alone, 2,053 man-hours were carried out by fire brigade staff working exclusively on a voluntary basis. After 1990, the focus changed from classic firefighting to technical assistance (traffic accidents, environmental protection), Since 1990, 50 people have been rescued in traffic accidents through teamwork with the DRK rescue service, unfortunately any help came too late for 32 people, In addition, OF Genthin is the location of the hazardous materials train of the Jerichower Land environmental fire department (special unit for combating NBC damage situations).

We actually wanted to take a look at the mill from the outside and promptly we got a private tour from the owner. He showed us everything and explained it very nicely. Thank you very much for the spontaneous home tour.

A lot of fine scree on this path, but it was also wonderful to ride with racing bike tires.
