This building used to be the Betzdorf fire station when I was a child before it was rebuilt on Friedrichstrasse. It was also known by the name "Nassen". The building has been undergoing a refurbishment for some time and has looked very smart since then, but it's not quite finished yet. It can therefore currently not be visited from the inside. It is rumored that there could be a locality here someday. Let us surprise.

The historic Old Fire Station at Rainstraße 26 (colloquially also known as "Rainchen") in Betzdorf was built in 1926 as a fire equipment house. The listed building made of reinforced concrete with a hipped roof and hose tower is now privately owned and not used for public access.
