The German Armed Forces rank insignia are made of durable material and offer a simple attachment option to the uniform jacket. From non-commissioned officer to general, every rank can be precisely represented using the shoulder straps.

These diverse designs of rank insignia make it possible to clearly and unambiguously represent the rank of each soldier. This ensures a clear hierarchy within the Bundeswehr and promotes recognition of the performance of every individual.

The rank insignia are embroidered or woven, depending on stock. Supplied in pairs. These are not official rank insignia issued by the military.
