Officers from the BFE arrest unit displayed their new Haenel assault rifles and heavy-duty ballistic protection helmets and body armour at a special press conference in the city.
The city has also purchased the Survivor 1 armoured personnel carrier for anti-terror police operations.
Hamburg city fathers have spent £3.9 million providing new equipment for their anti-terrorist police officers
Officers have been equipped with new Haenel assault rifles and heavy-duty body armour and helmets for added protection
The officers will be transported in new Survivor 1 vehicles which can cope with chemical or biological attack
The SK4-rated ballistic protection is capable of stopping a round fired from an AK-47 assault rifle.
The Survivor One can deal with chemical, nuclear and biological warfare agents., protecting the officers inside from exposure.
Some 70 officers are to be supplied with the additional body armour and helmets to protect them in the case of an attack.
According to NDR.de, the decision to equip the police with the heavy-duty equipment was due to the ongoing threat posed by ISIS.
In mid July, the city ordered 280 near assault rifles and sub-machine guns for officers.
Earlier this month, German police raided locations in three states and detained nine asylum seekers suspected of being part of an organized Chechen crime ring, MDR television reported.
Police had said earlier that the raids were staged in Dresden, Leipzig, Pirna and Radeberg in the eastern state of Saxony as well as locations in the neighbouring state of Thuringia and the western state of Rhineland-Palatinate.
City authorities decided to provide the new equipment due to the ongoing threat posed by jihadi terrorists such as ISIS
The new helmets and body armour are capable of stopping a bullet fired by a Kalashnikov AK-47 assault rifle
In July, Hamburg decided to invest in a further 280 assault rifles for their police officers to counter the ongoing terror threat
The ISIS news agency Aamaq has sent a number of threats to Germany claiming their terrorists will target the country
