Feldjäger Feldjäger The Feldjäger is the name given to the military police of the "Bundeswehr", Germany's armed forces. Their emblem is the historic Order of the Black Eagle which has as its motto "Suum Cuique" (Latin meaning "To each his own," a phrase derived from Cicero). The term "Feldjäger", literally meaning field huntsmen or field Jäger, has a long tradition and dates back to the mid-17th century. The first modern "Feldjäger" unit was activated on 6 October 1955 when the bill creating the "Bundeswehr" was signed. The new law called for a military police training company to be established at the
Suum cuique of the Order of the Black Eagle (German: "Hoher Orden vom Schwarzen Adler"; founded in 1701), the highest order of chivalry of the Kingdom of Prussia. The motto continues in use in Germany - in the insignia of the military police (the Feldjäger) and in association with the Berlin-based Masonic Lodge, "Black Eagle Lodge" (German: "Johannisloge Zum schwarzen Adler"). The Faculty of Advocates in Scotland uses the motto "Suum cuique". The phrase also serves as the motto of the Faculties of Law at Lund University and Uppsala University in Sweden, as well as the Faculty of Law of Federal University
