The Bundeswehr Office for Defence Planning (German: Planungsamt der Bundeswehr; PlgABw) is a branch of the Bundeswehr subordinate to the Federal Ministry of Defence.[1] The office is a think tank which decides the future direction of the Bundeswehr and how it can achieve those goals.[2] It is headquartered in Berlin and has four directorates:
- Objectives and Innovation

The office was established in 2012 under the leadership of Frank Leidenberger.[3][4] Leidenberger was succeeded by Thomas Jugel, then Wolfgang Gäbelein. On March 20, 2025, Gäbelein handed over leadership to the current director, Stefan Lüth.[5]
