The Office of Military Geowesen ( AMilGeo ) was from 1 April 1985 to 11 March 2003, the central office for processing of the specialties of the Military Geowesens ( MilGeo ) and head of the department service "Military Geographical Service" (MilGeoDst, MilGeo service) of Bundeswehr . In the course of the merger of the Military Geographic Service with the Geophysical Advisory Service of the Bundeswehr, the Office for Geoinformation of the Bundeswehr (AGeoBw) was formed from the AMilGeo and the Office for Military Geophysics on March 11, 2003 .
The individual subject areas are reflected in the departments, groups and divisions of the office.
Origin and organizational development
A first predecessor agency was created on June 15, 1956 under the name Vorpersonal Militärgeographische Dienststelle (VP MilGeoDSt). It consisted of 81 people in three groups of five to six work areas:
- Surveying and aerial photography
- cartography
- Descriptive geography
From July 17, 1956, the office was located in Bad Godesberg , Friesdorfer Str. 194 ( 50 ° 41 ′ 29 ″ N , 7 ° 8 ′ 27 ″ E ).
The addition "advance staff" was omitted on September 1, 1958. The military geographic department (MilGeo department) received 120 posts and the following structure:
- Surveying department
- Department of aerial photography
- Card department
- Department of Geography and Geology
On April 1, 1962, the agency was renamed the Military Geographic Office (MilGeoA). The new structure divided geography and geology into two sections.
On February 1, 1963, the departments were renamed into groups and formed two new departments, each under a colonel , resulting in the following structure:
- management
- Headquarters and Commandant Headquarters
- Central Technical Tasks Group (1976 Group Equipment / Procurement / Graphics Operations (ABG))
- Technical operation
- Procurement and equipment The
following departments were added later and joined the staff in 1976: - Linguist
- Specialized library
- Special documentation
- Geodesy Department
- Department of Geography / Geology (1971 Department of Military Land Studies)
- Geography group
- Geology group
The aerial photography group had three English Electric Canberra image planes whose crew members (camera operators and pilots came from the Air Force , the navigator from the MilGeo service, the pilots later from the Rheinflug company) later formed the image flight department. This was stationed at Cologne / Bonn Airport until 1988 , then with only two machines in Manching , with the local Defense Technology Service 61 then also providing the pilots. In 1993 flight operations were stopped.
Since March 1, 1967, the office has been one of the federal research and testing institutes .
On April 1, 1985, the name was changed to the Office for Military Geosystems (AMilGeo) with the following structure:
- Department I central tasks
- Staff with library
- Planning and Control Department
- MilGeo supply department (including graphics operations and map storage center)
- Department II Geosciences
- Geodesy / Photogrammetry group
- Cartography group
- Geography group

On July 10, 1985, the office moved into a new building in the Funk barracks, today Mercator barracks , in Euskirchen ( 50 ° 40 ′ 27 ″ N , 6 ° 45 ′ 47 ″ E ).
On July 1, 1987, the Head of Military Geosciences (LtrMilGeo), previously part of the Armed Forces Office, also took over the management of AMilGeo , raising his post to Brigadier General .
