The GSG9, which stands for "Grenzschutzgruppe" in German, or the English translation of "Border Protection Group 9", is an intervention unit of the German Police.
This unit was created following the failure of the intervention of the German Police
during a hostage taking, on September 05th 1972, during the Olympic games organized in Munich in Germany.

GSG9 also has a technical support and documentation team that allows this unit to be at the forefront of intelligence.
GSG9 also uses Bundespolizei helicopters for rapid deployment, enabling it to intervene rapidly throughout Germany and to enter a building from the roof...
In its scheduled operations, it uses camouflage and surprise to stop drug traffickers during Go Fast operations (use of fast cars loaded with drugs)
The GSG9 has more than 350 members.
In order to support them in case of multiple terrorist attacks on German territory, this type of first responder unit was also created:

Visit of German Interior Minister Thierry de Maizière at the opening of the "Direktion 11" in Berlin on 08/08/2017
In August 2017, the "BundespolizeiDirektion 11" was created. This new service of the German Federal State, based in Berlin, brings together several directorates of units such as GSG9, the air support unit of the Federal Police (Bundespolizei Flugdienst), the unit for protection abroad (Polizeilichen Schutzaufgaben Ausland der Bundespolizei), and other police entities.
The aim is to strengthen the reactivity of the federal forces to terrorist acts on German territory in the event of a major crisis.

In 2018, a second GSG9 base is planned to be set up in BERLIN.
The reason for this new unit is the terrorist risk in the German capital: previous attacks have very often taken place in European capitals. Also, the hypothesis of multiple attacks in different German states shows a need to have several entities across the country in order to intervene quickly.
That's why GSG9 members regularly train in different cities in Germany in cooperation with local police units, in full-scale exercises or as evaluators.

GSG9 has also been mentoring members of the PSA BPOL since 2013, a unit whose purpose is to protect German ambassadors in conflict zones, as above, an ambassador and members of the PSA BPOL ensuring his protection.
The German Ministry of the Interior decided to provide this security to these government members in various countries such as Afghanistan and Iraq following the 2001 attacks.
This is to ensure effective protection against the risk of kidnapping or attack.
