history

The Association of Civil Servants of the German Armed Forces in the German Association of Civil Servants was founded in 1956. This merged with the Association of Civil Servants of the German Defense Administration to form the Association of Civil Servants of the Bundeswehr.

The purpose of the VBB, which was founded in 1960, is the professional representation and the professional political, legal and social interests of its members. He advocates a modern and performance-oriented professional civil service based on our constitution.

The VBB is the professional organization with the largest number of members working in the Bundeswehr. In the main staff council, he makes up six of eight members of the civil servants 'group and in the district staff councils currently 85 percent of the members of the civil servants' groups.

At the 15th Federal Representative Conference in 2014, it was decided to open the VBB to employees of the Bundeswehr. For this reason, negotiations have been held with the Association of Workers in the Federal Armed Forces (VAB) on a possible merger. These ended in 2018 without an agreement. At the 16th Federal Representative Conference in 2019, it was decided to rename it to its current name.
