Bavarian Police Museum, Police museum in Triva Redoubt, Ingolstadt, Germany.
The Bavarian Police Museum in Triva Redoubt displays equipment, uniforms, vehicles, and documents spanning over a century of police history. The collection shows how police work developed materially from the late 1800s to the present day.
The museum grew from police force collections and was transferred to the Bavarian Army Museum in 2007 before opening at its current location in 2011. The Triva Redoubt fortress itself dates to the 1700s and served military purposes for centuries.
The museum reflects how policing in Bavaria evolved across different eras and adapted to changing social conditions. Visitors can see how uniforms, tools, and approaches shifted as the region experienced different historical periods.
The best approach is from the old town, and the building is clearly visible from outside. Visitors should note that weekday hours differ from weekend hours, so checking ahead helps plan the visit.
The collection includes items from security operations at the 1972 Munich Olympics, offering rare glimpses into a significant moment in German police history. These objects tell stories of how law enforcement responded to major events.
