The Military Music Center of the Bundeswehr ({{langx|de|Zentrum Militärmusik der Bundeswehr, ZMilMusBw}}) is the office in charge of managing the military bands of the Bundeswehr. It was established on 25 August 2009 as part of a restructuring of the Bundeswehr, to replace the specialist branch of service that existed for military musicians before it.
Function
The Central Task of The Center is the functional management of all music Ensembles of the Bundeswehr as well as professional advisement of the Ministry of Defence (MoD) in Military Music affairs. In addition, it controls and plans the operations of all music units in the Bundeswehr, both domestically and abroad. It is also responsible for the approval of music productions by Members of the Armed Forces.
