History
On 25 May 1671, the ranks were codified, by King Christian V, with the publication of the Danish order of precedence. Here generals of the branch were placed below Lieutenant field marshal (Шаблон:Lang-da), and above the noble rank of Count and the military rank of Lieutenant general.Шаблон:Sfn
As part of the Army Reform of 1867, the ranks of Major, Lieutenant colonel were removed and only a single "General" rank was kept.Шаблон:Sfn After the 1880 reform, the general officer ranks were reintroduced.Шаблон:Sfn Commanding generals of the 1st and 2nd General Command were made Lieutenant generals while everyone else were made Major general.Шаблон:Sfn
Insignia
The first official uniform was instituted on 29 September 1737.Шаблон:Sfn The first few uniform designs have not survived, though they were likely red, highly ornamented coats without collar.Шаблон:Sfn The red coat remained until 1768, when Comte de Saint-Germain instituted white uniforms for generals, these were however removed shortly after, in 1769.Шаблон:Sfn In 1772, the first real ranks were introduced to the Danish Army; these were gold rings on the cuffs, with three for full generals, two for Lieutenant generals, and one for major generals.Шаблон:Sfn This uniform saw a number of changes until 1785, when the cuff ranks were removed.Шаблон:Sfn
In 1801, new uniforms were introduced for the whole army. Along with the new uniforms, epaulette ranks were introduced for officers, with generals wearing six-pointed stars on their epaulettes.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The general ranks remained largely unchanged from their introduction until 1979, and the adoption of NATO STANAG 2116.Шаблон:Sfn The adoption created the new rank of Brigadier general, which would receive the one star, meaning the major general would receive two stars.Шаблон:Sfn

It is the third-highest general officer rank in the German Army (Heer) and German Air Force (Luftwaffe). This rank is also used in the Austrian Armed Forces, but is abbreviated as GenMjr.
Historically, German Army ranks for its generals prior to 1945 were offset by one from those of most other major European armies. Thus, prior to 1945, the Generalmajor rank in the German Army was equivalent to the brigadier general rank in other armies, and so forth.

The rank is rated OF-7 in NATO, and is grade B7 in the pay rules of the Federal Ministry of Defence. It is equivalent to Konteradmiral in the German Navy (Marine) or to Generalstabsarzt, and Admiralstabsarzt in the Zentraler Sanitätsdienst der Bundeswehr.
On the shoulder straps (Heer, Luftwaffe) there are two golden pips (stars) in golden oak leaves.

Generalmajor in East Germany
Generalmajor was in the so-called "armed organs of the GDR" (Шаблон:Lang-de), represented by Ministry of National Defence, and Ministry for State Security, the lowest general officer rank, comparable to the one-star rank in many NATO-Armed forces (Rangcode OF-6). This was in reference to Soviet military doctrine and in line with other armed forces of the Warsaw Pact.
The equivalent rank of the Volksmarine (GDR Navy) was the Konteradmiral, often called simply Herr Admiral for short.
