in sendling, as a result of a severe fire, a volunteer fire department was founded in 1869. this was incorporated, with the incorporation of sendlings in 1877, in the munich fire department and was therefore the first outside munich-based fire department of munich. in 1889, it was decided to found another company near the "schlachthof münchen" (slaughterhouse), which, like the company from thalkirchen, was combined with the fire department in sendling during the reorganization of the munich volunteer fire department. the vehicles were housed in the fire station of the sendlinger fire department, while the comrades in the slaughterhouse district and in thalkirchen were placed at assembly stations, where they could be picked up by the professional fire department. during the second world war, this fire station and all the equipment of the fire department were destroyed in a bombing raid.
