The Staff Band of the Bundeswehr (German: Stabsmusikkorps der Bundeswehr) is the main representative brass band of the Bundeswehr, stationed in Berlin. It works together with the Wachbataillon during state receptions of the Federal President, Chancellor and the Minister of Defense. The Staff Band was founded on April 1, 1991 as the Eastern Army Band in Potsdam. In January 1994 it was renamed Heeresmusikkorps and was relocated to Berlin on April 1, 1995. On July 1, 2000, the Stabsmusikkorps in its current form was established. The Staff Band of the Bundeswehr has been led by Lieutenant Colonel Reinhard Kiauka since 2014.[1]
