The Bundesfinanzdirektionen will replace the federal parts of the Oberfinanzdirektionen in Germany. This was decided by the Finance Ministry in its draft concept on the future of the federal financial administration on November 6, 2006. The Bundesfinanzdirektionen will be the future supreme authority for the main customs offices.
The future Bundesfinanzdirektionen will be located in:
- Hamburg (North)
- Cologne (West)
- main customs offices: Münster, Aachen, Dortmund, Duisburg, Düsseldorf, Cologne, Krefeld, Frankfurt International Airport and Giessen
- Neustadt an der Weinstrasse (Southwest)
- Nuremberg (Southeast)
- main customs offices: Erfurt, Landshut, Munich, Nuremberg, Regensburg, Rosenheim, Schweinfurt and Augsburg
- Potsdam (Center)
- main customs offices:Berlin, Frankfurt an der Oder, Potsdam, Dresden, Hanover, Magdeburg, Braunschweig, Bielefeld and Osnabrück.
The customs and consumption tax directorates of the Oberfinanzdirektionen Chemnitz (located in Dresden), Karlsruhe (located in Freiburg im Breisgau), Koblenz (located in Neustadt an der Weinstrasse), Cottbus (located in Potsdam), Hamburg, Cologne and Nuremberg will be closed. The subordinate main customs offices will be divided between the new Bundesfinanzdirektionen and some main customs offices will be attached to other Bundesfinanzdirektionen to make the BFD districts more even. This organisational change in the federal financial administration aims to evenly allocate the workload between the Bundesfinanzdirektionen. This is why the economically weak east of Germany has only one Bundesfinanzdirektion and the strong south and west have three BFDs in Cologne, Nuremberg and Neustadt an der Weinstrasse.
