history
The infantry school was opened on July 1, 1956 in Hammelburg and initially carried out instruction courses for military service officers and NCOs, and from 1958 training courses for lone fighters , driving instructors for tracked and wheeled vehicles, mortar shooters, snipers, shooting instructors and sergeants . The infantry also included the armored infantry troops .
From 1965, the attached military training area could be fully used. Up until then, this had served refugees from the Second World War as agricultural land and Bonnland as a settlement. From the end of the 1970s, the lone fighter training was also carried out by the air landing and air transport school at Sauwaldhof , temporarily only there and since 2013 exclusively in Hammelburg. In 1999 the UN training center was set up in Hammelburg . The formerly subordinate Jägerlehrbataillon 353 was dissolved on December 31, 2006.
Organization of the infantry school until December 2014:
- Infantry school
- Staff group
- Teaching / training area
- Support group
- Mountain and winter fighting school
- Air landing and air transport school
- UN training center of the Bundeswehr
As part of the realignment of the German Armed Forces , the UN Training Center of the German Armed Forces became independent and the infantry school was reclassified into the Infantry Training Center.

The green border corresponds to the weapon color of the infantry . It is worn on the service suit as a sleeve badge and can be combined with the internal association badge as a chest tag.
