history

Lineup

After reunification , the territorial structures known from West Germany were quickly created in the former military district III of the land forces of the National People's Army (see the structure of the territorial army around 1989 ). The defense district command 81 was to assume the Heeresstruktur V of the early 1990s as part of the Territorial Army deallocated and the commanders in the Military District VIII assumed. Based on the civil administrative structure in West Germany, the defense district should roughly correspond to a (future) administrative district . When setting up, however, the layout of the new defense district was initially roughly based on the Halle district known from the German Democratic Republic . The location of the Halle / Saale staff was also corresponding . When the state of Saxony-Anhalt established three government districts, the layout of the two defense districts in Saxony-Anhalt remained unchanged. Defense district 81 therefore roughly corresponded to the area of ​​the administrative districts of Halle and Dessau .

Change to military area command VII

On October 1, 1997, Military District Command VIII was dissolved. The management of the Defense District Command in Saxony-Anhalt , including the management of Defense District Command 81, was assigned to Defense District Command VII .

Change to the armed forces base

In 2001 the territorial army was disbanded. The military area commands and defense district commands were subordinated to the newly established armed forces base . The defense areas and defense districts were fundamentally reorganized and their number reduced. In contrast to most of the other defense districts, the layout of defense district 81 remained unchanged. The Defense District Command 81 was subordinated to the "newly" established Defense District Command III . The subordinate defense district commands were dissolved and some of its tasks were transferred to the newly established district liaison commands.

resolution

The Defense District Command was decommissioned in 2007. Some of his assignments were transferred to the newly established state command of Saxony-Anhalt and the subordinate district liaison commands.

Association badge

The Defense District Command did not have its own association badge due to its planning as a predominantly non-active unit . The few active soldiers therefore wore the association badge of the superior military area command .

As a "badge", the internal association badge of the staff and the staff company " pars pro toto " was sometimes used imprecisely for the entire defense district command. The internal association badge showed some figures from the state coat of arms of Saxony-Anhalt and the city ​​arms of Halle as a reference to the stationing area . Above left the Halle red stars and moon . On the right the Ascanian bear on the red battlements (see Bernburg Castle ) and the Wettin diamond wreath on the typical black and gold shield division . The Iron Cross shown below is the national emblem of the Bundeswehr.
