Regional Territorial Command Schleswig-Holstein

The Regional Territorial Command Schleswig-Holstein in Kiel is the supreme territorial command authority of the Bundeswehr within the federal state. It is the first point of contact for the Schleswig-Holstein state government when it comes to civil-military cooperation.

Visitor magnet: the Kiel Week annually attracts more than three million people to the Kieler Förde inlet. In the northernmost federal state, this event always also generates great interest in the Bundeswehr.

  • What does the coat of arms of the Regional Territorial Command Schleswig-Holstein represent?

    The coat of arms of the Regional Territorial Command Schleswig-Holstein conforms largely to the coat of arms of the federal state. It consists of a divided shield with black borders. Symbolising the Schleswig region, the left half shows two lions with red claws, both facing inward and one above the other, on a yellow background. The right half shows the nettle leaf on a red background, symbolising the region of Holstein. Located at the base of the shield and depicted in silver with blue borders is the Iron Cross of the Bundeswehr.
