The Wachregiment Berlin was a military formation of the Reichswehr, established in June 1921 after World War I, and later also of the Wehrmacht. It was deployed for the protection of government facilities and personnel, as well as for ceremonial purposes such as state receptions or parades. It was garrisoned at the Rathenower Straße 9-18 barracks in Berlin-Tiergarten (Moabit).

The Kommando Wachtruppe was composed of companies from all infantry regiments of the Reichswehr, rotated to Berlin on a scheduled basis. It consisted of seven rifle companies, with each of the seven divisions of the Reichswehr providing one company. In addition to the seven rifle companies, the command included a machine gun company and an artillery battery, specially detailed for this purpose. The companies were typically relieved after three months.
