The German Federal Agency for Technical Relief (THW) or Technical Emergency Service was created on 22 August 1950 as a federal organisation for the protection of the German citizens in case of natural disasters. The federal agency in subserviant to the Ferderal Ministry of Interior and it is located in Bonn-Lengsdorf. Since 25 August 1953, the THW is a institution under public law.

The THW's original German name »Technisches Hilfswerks« means »Technical Emergency Service«, but is usually translated as »German Federal Agency for Technical Relief«. Its predecessor was the Emergency Relief Service (ger. Nothilfe). (Source: Wikipedia).
