Hi
Well what I know is that a pump this size can have up to nine crew in it and others 6 to 2 crew, it's just down to what ever engine is needed.
Most of celle fire stations are part time manned and are called by pager so I think it's like the UK, they get the call and report to there station and see what the call is then respond with what ever vehicles are needed, but most station around celle area I have seen are up to 3 bays with a crew van/command vehicle in and 2 pumps in the outer station so this might be the standard thing so that a good 20+ at most in personal, apart from celle town main station that has a lot more pumps and other special vehicles in.
Also I did know if it still goes on if any town or village dose not have enough man power in some parts of Germany you can get call up to service with the local part time fire service in that area.
Anyway I hope this helps, but if I can I will get some more info if needed.

German public fire services are required to respond to structure fires with a minimum of sixteen personnel, but often exceed this number considerably, as there are more than 22, 000 volunteer fire companies across the country, in addition to more than a hundred full time city fire brigades and numerous works brigades - which also often respond to incidents off site.
In cities, the normal turnout is two pumps, a ladder, a command van and an ambulance, with fourteen to sixteen riders. The ambulance may be staffed by fire service personnel, or by the Red Cross, or by another EMS agency.
In small towns, the attendance may dispense with the ladder, but many small towns and villages do have a ladder truck, and one or both of the pumps may have a crew of up to nine members. In addition, German volunteer fire companies only very rarely operate an ambulance...
Other incidents are staffed very differently, from two crew members in a minor alarm van for a reported lock-out to forty or more personnel with eight or more units for an occupied night time residential high rise fire...
