Lampasse(s) (German: Lampasse(n)) are trouser stripes adorning the dress uniforms of many armed forces, police, fire and other public uniformed services. In German-speaking countries the uniforms of general staff–qualified officers featured distinctive double-wide lampasses.[1]

Ancient Scythians often decorated the seams of their trousers with lampasse-like elements,[2]
but the modern fad for lampasses originated in civilian fashion in the early years of the 19th century and soon passed into military use - by 1815 in Prussia, for example.
For general officers of the German Bundeswehr the tradition to use lampasses was given up[3] in 1956. However, general officers of the National People's Army, Volkspolizei and Stasi, as well as flag officers of the Volksmarine wore double-wide lampasses on uniform trousers in the appropriate corps colour until 1990.
In Germany today the general officers of the Bundespolizei wear double-wide Lampasses in deep green. Since 2010 Lampasses are also worn by the police forces of Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria (2017).
