Hello everyone,

Well, basically title. I tried the freiwilliges Feuerwehr, but I dont think they want non-german people.

Any other ideas?

Why don't they take non-German people? Maybe in the countryside there are a lot of prejudices, you have to go through that, but I would give it a try. They generally lack (young) people, I could imagine that they would be happy if someone came?

Otherwise, search in your region using the keywords "Ehrenamt" + region, and you should be able to find quite a lot.

Well in my countryside village they didn’t want me cause I was a girl. It’s 15 years ago now, and they struggled for a while to find new kids that want to join. So I’m not surprised that there are Freiwillige Feuerwehren that would reject others based on their prejudices.
