Objects of protection in the case of the Border Guard Act are only the basic, constitutive national bodies, i.e. the existence, structure, responsibility and cooperation of which provide creative guidance with implication for the life of the Federacy. The following requirements must be met for protection assignment: (1) a preceding decision by the Federal Minister of the Interior is issued on behalf of a request by the body to be protected; and (2) it is declared that a suitable safeguarding must be assisted by the Border Guard. The Guard's duties are limited to removal of disturbances and defense against dangers. It is always pre-conditional that these measures are necessary for the immediate security of the premises. All relevant legal norms are applied to the Guard. In order to ensure a successful cooperation between the Guard and the police of the land, officials must come to an agreement which coordinates the Federal and local police forces, lines of command and principles of cooperation. The objects of protection in Bonn are listed, along with the history of 'GSA Bonn.'
