You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.200.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 February 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[Image:Vereidigung-msm-2006.jpg|thumb|300px|Cadets of the [[German Navy]] in formation for their ceremonial pledge in front of the German Naval Academy (''[[Mürwik Naval School|Marineschule Mürwik]]'')]]
There were originally two types of soldiers serving in the ''[[Bundeswehr]]'' (Federal Defence): regular units and [[Conscription in Germany|conscripts]]. Consequently, there were also two types of [[Military oath|oaths]]. Conscripts recited a pledge, since their service was compulsory and not unconditionally voluntary. Regular soldiers recited an oath in its true sense.

==Conscripted personnel==
[[Image:Geloebnis.ogg|thumb|Soldiers speaking the pledge for conscripted personnel]]
Conscript's pledge:

:''"Ich gelobe, der Bundesrepublik Deutschland treu zu dienen, und das Recht und die Freiheit des deutschen Volkes tapfer zu verteidigen."''
 
Translation:

:''"I pledge to loyally serve the [[Germany|Federal Republic of Germany]] and to courageously defend the right and the liberty of the German people."''<ref>((cite web |title=Commemorating German resistance fighters |url=https://www.bundesregierung.de/breg-en/news/commemorating-german-resistance-fighters-402858 |website=Bundesregierung: The Federal Government |accessdate=23 October 2020))</ref>

Conscripts are allowed to decline taking the pledge, but this forfeits any chance of promotion during service. This refusal does not constitute conscientious objection to military service, since German conscripts are also allowed to render alternative social service in its place.

==Professional soldiers and Soldiers for a Time==
Oath for other enlisted personnel, [[non-commissioned officer]]s and [[Officer (armed forces)|officers]] serving for at least two years (Soldiers For a Time) or for lifetime (professional soldiers):

:''"Ich schwöre, der Bundesrepublik Deutschland treu zu dienen, und das Recht und die Freiheit des deutschen Volkes tapfer zu verteidigen, so wahr mir Gott helfe."''

Translation:

:''"I swear to loyally serve the Federal Republic of Germany and to courageously defend the right and the liberty of the German people, so help me God."''

The religious adjunct used with the oath was optional, the replacing of "''ich gelobe''" (I pledge) with "''ich schwöre''" (I swear) was not.
