From 1945 all German police forces wore different colored uniforms but since the mid seventies the police of all West German Länder and West Berlin wore the same uniform, that Heinz Oestergaard designed most parts of in the early seventies. The standard uniform consisted of tunic, parka, pullover without shroud, coat, visor cap and neck tie in moss-green, trouser, pullover and cardigan in brown-beige, shirt (long and short sleeve) in bamboo-yellow. Shoes, boots, holsters, leather jackets and other leather gear were black.
