The structure of the Technische Hilfswerk (THW) is unique worldwide, as 98 per cent of its members are volunteers, and only some two per cent are paid employees. As a federal agency, the organisation is part of the portfolio of the Federal Ministry of the Interior. The THW headquarters is in Bonn and is headed by the President of the THW, Sabine Lackner, and the Vice-President, Dierk Hansen. THW Headquarters comprises three Departments, with various Staff Units and Divisions. The full-time structure across the country is organised in eight State Associations and 66 Regional Offices. Additionally, there are three training centres within the THW. In total, more than 2,200 full-time employees work hand-in-hand with, and primarily for, the volunteers.
The largest component of the THW is made up of its 88,000 volunteers across the country. They act on behalf of the Federal Republic of Germany. Their voluntary work takes place in the 668 Local Sections covering Germany,
