The Berlin crest (the bear on a shield topped with a crown) has been modified to create a specifically Field Station Berlin crest. The crown atop the Berlin crest has been replaced with the Teufelsberg logo, and a scroll with the honorific Outpost of Freedom has been added below. The Berlin hill known as Teufelsberg is where Peace was built on the foundation of the rubble of World War II. It was the operational home of Field Station Berlin. |
The new Berlin city-district crests are topped with a brick-work crenellation displaying three turrets with the Berlin City crest on the central turret. The shield displays the Teufelsberg logo, atop a pile of rubble, which is the actual basis for the elevation known as Teufelsberg in Berlin. The crest is supported by a scroll with the honorific Outpost of Freedom. |
The Latin motto of the Army Security Agency (Semper Vigilis) on the left of the design recalls Thomas Jefferson's observation that "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance," and "Ich bin ein Berliner" on the right of the design recalls Kennedy's speech at Rathaus Schöneberg in 1963.
The Field Station Berlin Commemorative Initiative hopes to place a bronze plaque atop Teufelsberg commemorating the contribution of the Field Station to ensure the freedom of Berlin and World Peace. To learn more about the Field Station Berlin Commemorative plaque, please follow me.
