In October 1984 a handful of faithful christians, such as Helmut und Johanna Bräundle-Falkensee, Josef Gamperl, Elisabeth Gräfin Polzer-Hoditz and Olga Leitinger, established the Austrian Albert Schweitzer Society (OeASG) as a Christian-humanitarian, non-profit and apolitical organization. In February 1985 we became a registered association in Austria (ZVR: 839299728). By decision of 15th April 1991 (GZ 63.337/23-5-2/91) of the Federal Ministery of Defence the awards of the OeASG was authorized for wear on the uniform of the Austrian army. By decision of 28th April 1995 (12.410/1365-II/13/95) of the Federal Ministery of the Interior the look and pattern of the uniform, the rank-insignia and other badges of the OeASG were granted to be worn. Since 1984 there is also a permission to wear the awards of the OeASG to the uniform of the Austrian Fire Brigades. This was again fixed in a letter of the Federal Fire Brigade Association (Bundeswehrwehrverband) of Autum 2011. This letter was also send to the province headquarters of all nine Province Fire Brigade Commands.始於1984年奧利地。秉承史懷哲醫生精神，進行慈善工作。特別為傷病者、難民，及其他有需要人士提供援助。
