This wooden wall plaque features the emblem of the DDR People’s Police Readiness Units, also known as VoPo. The green background with silver rays and the central DDR crest marks these formations as paramilitary internal security forces of the East German Ministry of the Interior.
Motif:
Shield of the Barracked People’s Police (KVP) and readiness units of the GDR
Key Feature:
Historically styled decorative replica – symbol of East Germany’s paramilitary police forces
Time Period:
Approx. 1952–1990
Context:
These units served in riot control, civil unrest suppression, infrastructure protection, and political order enforcement. Evolving from the KVP, they remained active until German reunification and were subordinate to the Ministry of the Interior.
Historical Background:
Initially conceived as a military-training force, the KVP became the DDR’s internal readiness police. After 1956, it operated parallel to the NVA. While essential to the regime’s stability, these units were also used to control dissent. The shield commemorates this controversial chapter in DDR history from a purely historical and neutral perspective.
