Oevenum (Fering: Ööwenem, Danish: Øvenum) is a municipality on the island of Föhr, in the district of Nordfriesland, in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. In 1796 23 houses in the neighbouring village of Nieblum were destroyed by a fire. Subsequently, a bell was installed atop Oevenum's school house to warn the people in case of fire. The bell was moreover rung in the morning and at noon and was also used as a means of alarm during storm surges. In 1882 Germany's first junior firefighters were recruited in Oevenum. Thus Oevenum's Junior Fire Service is presumably also the oldest of its kind in Europe. More information...
