Hundertschaft (German: [ˈhʊndɐtʃaft] Audio file "De-Hundertschaft.ogg" not found, centuria, group of a hundred) is a German term to denote a military or police group of around one hundred members.[1] Historically the Germanic tribes created fighting groups of 100 men. This term is not used in the modern German military (although it is roughly the size of a company, which is a bit larger). It is currently used by the Bereitschaftspolizei (riot police) of the Landespolizei (state police) and German Federal Police to designate company-sized police reserve units.
