On June 28, 2025, the picturesque city of Freyung in the Bavarian Forest offered the framework for this year's “Bundeswehr Day”. The annual event opened the gates to the barracks on this day and became the Bundeswehr shop window.

Lieutenant Colonel Dr. Dan Tomunzia, Minister of State Dr. Florian Herrmann as well as district administrator Sebastian Gruber and Mayor Dr. Olaf Heinrich. This prominence underlined the importance of the event for the region and the connection between citizens and the Bundeswehr.

The highlight of the day was the impressive overflight of three Airbus A400M, which symbolically underlined the performance of the Air Force.

In addition, regional traditional costumes and the mountain music corps from Bad Reichenhall offered musical entertainment.
