Kiberer
The expression Kiberer (also Kieberer , Kiwara ) for the individual police officer, for the organization: Kiberei (also Kieberei , Kiwarei ), is used in Austria , especially in Vienna , colloquially for 'police officer' or as a term for the entire police force .
Definition according to the Austrian dictionary :
- Kiberei , also: Kieberei ( Rotwelsch - Yiddish ) (in Vienna, coll., Pejorative): [Criminal] police.
- Kiberer , who, also: Kieberer (in Vienna, coll., Pejorative ): detective, police officer.
According to Siegmund A. Wolf , Kiberer comes from 'kewjus' = security. Compare the related word 'Kiewisch', of Rotwel origin, for lapwing . - According to Peter Wehle, on the other hand, Kiberer comes from mhd. 'Kiben' or 'cable' = scold off.
See detective officer:
- the smeared .
Compare police:
- die Heh : Probably after the policeman's call "Heh!" (cf. Cabinet, Wiener Dialektlexikon, 1905), perhaps also by Hecher as a name for the medieval executioner . Girtler considers Wehle's approach unlikely, according to which Heh would derive from the earlier mounted police, i.e. from in the Höh .
- the smeared , the smeared (plural); the lubricant ;
- the Polente ;
- the cops .
The term bull is mainly used in Germany as a corresponding designation, see also the television crime series Der Bulle von Tölz as an example . In the children's television series head over heels , the police chief dog, played by Wolfgang Gruner , drove a Citroën 2CV (“duck”) with the distinctive inscription “Polente” as a company car.
A testimony to the spread of the expression Kiberer is that in 2001 Ernst Hinterberger as an author and Wolfgang Böck for his realistic portrayal in the TV series Kaisermühlen-Blues and Trautmann received the award of honor kieber from the Association of Federal Criminal Police Officers of Austria .
