The Bundeswehr, (Federal Defense) is the name of the armed forces of the Federal Republic of Germany. The Bundeswehr is divided into a military part (armed forces or Streitkräfte) and a civilian part. When the Bundeswehr was established in 1955, its founding principles were based on developing a completely new military force for the defense of West Germany. In this respect, the Bundeswehr does not consider itself to be a successor to any former German military organization or group, pre- or post-war.

The coat of arms of Berlin is used by the German city state as well as the city itself. Introduced in 1954 for West Berlin, it shows a black bear on a white shield. On top of the shield is a special crown, created by the amalgamation of the mural crown of a city with the so-called people's crown (Volkskrone), used in Germany to denote a republic. Berlin's various boroughs use their own emblems.
