The Colour of the Bayerische Bereitschaftspolizei is called an Ehrenfahne (Honour Colour) in a short historical text at the Bavarian police website. It was presented to the president of the Bayerische Bereitschaftspolizei by the Minister of the Interior on 4 December 1986. The design was made by Paul Rattelmüller, the district conservator (Bezirksheimatpfleger) of Upper Bavaria. The Colour is a single item kept at the HQ of the Bereitschaftspolizei at Bamberg, but transferred to other places, if there is a need. It is used on many ceremonial occasions, e.g. when foreign guests officially visit Bavaria, during funeral services for police officers, during swearing-in of police officers etc. (
