#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.

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
