The Bereitschaftspolizei (Bepo or BP) for riot police, is the German police unit in charge of maintaining order in Germany.
Uniforms and equipment are managed from the point of view of the federal government. The number of personnel depends on the Landers where they are located, but can be found in other Landers depending on the size of the event. There are about 16,000 police officers available.

At the end of the 1970s, weapons such as machine guns and hand grenades were withdrawn because the Bereitschaftspolizei were more focused on maintaining order than on anti-terrorist actions, which were left to GSG9.

Each German Lander currently manages its units according to the current situation.
The Bereitschaftspolizei were regularly mobilized in the protection of nuclear transports because environmental activists are very numerous in Germany.
Railroad convoys with "CASTOR" type protections require an important protection all along the route in Germany...
Sometimes the areas are highly protected, so the police intervene on the outskirts of the convoys to disperse the demonstrators.

and here.
The German experience in policing is important because of the demonstrations against nuclear power which required a lot of means and tactics to counter these demonstrators who sometimes chained themselves to the rails to avoid the passage of these nuclear convoys...
Similarly, actions by far-left activists during demonstrations against the extreme right have often ended in a pitched war in the streets.
The Bereitschaftspolizei are supported by riot trucks.

Germany chose a different method than France to contain the demonstrators. (Link in french Method )
The doctrine of policing is that of "de-escalation" (Deeskalation in German). It aims at minimizing collateral, unnecessary or dangerous violence, and permanent dialogue with the crowd.

It was in the mid-70s and 80s that movements called "Blackblocs" began to emerge with techniques of violence against the established order.
Dressed in black and grouped in a compact block, they harass the police in case of a riot.
Checkpoint devices are set up either at the entrance to the rally, or at train stations, bus stations, portions of highways or airports, with bag searches for access to a demonstration.
Like here in these videos below:
During demonstrations and when the crowd is perceived as dangerous, the Bereitschaftspolizei are deployed in large numbers to escort the demonstrators.
The goal is to show a large force ready to intervene in case of outbursts and by channeling the demonstrators....
The route is marked and the Bereitschaftspolizei have set up riot barriers. At the intersections, numerous forces with pump trucks, also called water cannons or armored water cannons, are behind ready to intervene

The German method is mainly to frame with preventive measures of intimidation by controlling the demonstrators and by the important deployment of human means and armored water cannons.
However, faced with a very large number of demonstrators, it is difficult to stand up to them, hence the use of tear gas as a last resort...

The use of horses is also used in an exceptional way.

Bereitschaftspolizei in G20 in Hamburg - 2017
For weeks, supporters of the anarchist and autonomous movement had been promising "hell" in Hamburg.
