history

Lineup

After reunification , the territorial structures known from West Germany were quickly created in the former military district III of the land forces of the National People's Army (see the structure of the territorial army around 1989 ). The defense district command 83 was to assume the Heeresstruktur V of the early 1990s as part of the Territorial Army deallocated and the commanders in the Military District VIII assumed. Based on the civil administrative structure in West Germany, the defense district should roughly correspond to a (future) administrative district . When setting up, however, the layout of the new defense district was initially roughly based on the Cottbus district known from the German Democratic Republic . The location of the Cottbus staff was accordingly .

Change to military area command VII

On October 1, 1997, Military District Command VIII was dissolved. The management of the Defense District Command in Brandenburg , including the management of Defense District Command 83, was assigned to Defense District Command VII .

resolution

Analogous to the reduction in the number of Defense District Command in other countries, Defense District Command 83 in Brandenburg was decommissioned on March 31, 1999. The western part of Defense District 83 was incorporated into Defense District 84 . The eastern part of Defense District 83 was added to Defense District 85 .

Association badge

Internal association badge of the staff / staff company

The Defense District Command did not have its own association badge due to its planning as a predominantly non-active unit . The few active soldiers therefore wore the association badge of the superior military area command .

As a "badge", the internal association badge of the staff and the staff company " pars pro toto " was sometimes used imprecisely for the entire defense district command. The internal Badge showed as a reference to the deployment of space as a figure the Brandenburg eagle as the national emblem, right above the city arms Cottbus with castle and cancer . The Iron Cross is the national emblem of the Bundeswehr.
