The city of Ulm, Fire Department Ulm and Magirus remembered the firefighting pioneer and company founder C.D. Magirus with a solemn wreath-laying ceremony at Ulm’s old cemetery.

For the 125th anniversary of the death of Conrad Dietrich Magirus on 26 June 2020, the city of Ulm, the Ulm Fire Department and Magirus commemorated the company founder, inventor, and Ulm citizen. Attending the wreath-laying ceremony at Magirus’s grave in the "Alter Friedhof St. Georg" cemetery were Gunter Czisch, Mayor of Ulm, Hansjörg Prinzing, Fire Chief and Commander of the Ulm Fire Department, and Marc Diening, CEO of Magirus. They were accompanied by a delegation from the city council, the fire department, and the company.
