Bundeswehr's Roots Run Deep in Thuringia's Soil
Military Official: Bundeswehr Founded in Thuringia - Military Leader Affirms: Bundeswehr's Origin Lies in Thuringia
Hey there! Let's dive into the tight-knit relationship between Thuringia's state government and the Bundeswehr, Germany's armed forces.

Stefan Gruhner, Thuringia's State Chancellor Minister, has expressed a strong desire to fortify ties with the Bundeswehr units stationed within the state. In a recent ceremonial parade held in Erfurt on the Petersberg, Gruhner hailed the Bundeswehr as an integral part of Thuringia's security structure and an active partner in its local community life.
The state government acknowledges and appreciates the dedication of soldiers and civilian employees. Their service, whether at home, abroad, or during daily training in Thuringian locations, is highly valued. In more rural parts of the state, the Bundeswehr serves not only as a formidable force but also as a significant economic factor. A close working relationship between the Bundeswehr and Thuringian authorities is evident in their collaboration during crises such as forest fires and floods.
The parade in Erfurt had a special purpose—to celebrate the change in leadership at Information Technology Battalion 383. Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Czada passed on his command to Lieutenant Colonel Marco Peressotti.

Now, let's delve a bit deeper. Cooperative efforts between the Bundeswehr and Thuringia's logistics companies have surfaced as a groundbreaking approach to overcoming common obstacles, specifically concerning staffing and personnel development.
Background
Logistics companies in Germany, including Thuringia, grapple with severe staffing shortages, particularly a lack of drivers. Creative solutions to tackle this problem have led to the Bundeswehr-Thuringian collaboration, which has been facilitated by the Logistik Netzwerk Thüringen. By signing a letter of intent with the Logistics Command of the Bundeswehr, they aim to enhance employee training and exchange personnel[1].
Benefits
This partnership offers several advantages:
- Enhanced Training Opportunities: Both parties gain from each other's specialized training programs. The Bundeswehr's logistics units can acquire practical experience in civilian logistics operations, while Thuringian logistics companies can leverage the military's structured training methods[1].
- Resource Sharing: During peak logistics periods, military personnel can assist with transportation needs, while civilian logistics experts can support military operations during major exercises[1].
- Sustainable Workforce Development: The exchange program allows individuals to experienced diverse environments, potentially leading to long-term career development opportunities and retention of skilled workers[1].
Examples of Joint Activities
Key collaborative ventures include:
- Personnel Exchange Program: Members of the Bundeswehr's Logistics Command can work temporarily in Thuringian logistics companies, expanding their civilian sector knowledge. Conversely, civilian logistics workers can participate in military exercises or training[1].
- Pilot Project Development: A pilot project is underway to test and refine this collaborative model. Its goal is to create a sustainable partnership that strengthens both military and civilian logistics capabilities[1].
- Workshop on Cooperative Models: The initiative started with a workshop in Erfurt, discussing cooperative models for tackling staff shortages and improving logistics efficiencies[1].
This innovative partnership not only addresses staffing issues in Thuringian logistics but also fosters learning and development opportunities between the military and civilian sectors. Now you know that the partnership isn't just deep—it's got roots that run deep!
