The Air Force Music Corps Münster (LwMusKorps Münster) was set up in Uetersen on July 11, 1956 and has been stationed in Münster since September 4, 1956 . With the other 13 music corps of the Bundeswehr, it was subordinated to the Bundeswehr Military Music Center in Bonn as part of the realignment of the Bundeswehr .

task

The Air Force Music Corps Münster is set up as a symphonic wind orchestra that performs with up to 60 musicians at events inside and outside the Bundeswehr, with classical music, contemporary brass music , pop , swing and traditional marching music .

In everyday military life, troop support at home and abroad is on the roster. In addition to appearances at military ceremonies, such as vows, roll calls and the Great Zapfenstreich , benefit concerts are an integral part of public relations. The field of activity of the music corps covers the entire north of Germany from the Dutch border to the Harz.

history

The music corps was set up under the name Musikkorps der Luftwaffe 1 in Uetersen. The then first lieutenant Johannes Schade became chief. Sixteen men were called up for July 11, 1956. Musical instruments were not available, only those who brought their own instruments could make music. The rehearsals also took place in the open air because no rehearsal room was available. Gradually the music corps grew to around 70 men, as musicians were also called up for the later Air Force 2 music corps. On September 4, 1956, the Air Force Music Corps was relocated to Münster and placed under the command of the Air Force Ground Organization.

From August 1, 1958, it was named Luftwaffe Music Corps 3 and since April 2014 the musicians have been performing as the Air Force Music Corps Münster. For a short time it was the only Air Force Music Corps because the other Air Force Music Corps 1 , 2 and 4 were disbanded as part of the realignment of the Bundeswehr . On April 1, 2015, the Military Area Music Corps III Erfurt was renamed the Air Force Music Corps Erfurt.
