footnotes =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)::main customs offices: Hamburg-Hafen, Hamburg-Jonas, Hamburg-Stadt, Itzehoe, Kiel, Stralsund, Oldenburg and Bremen:Cologne (West)::main customs offices: Münster, Aachen, Dortmund, Duisburg, Düsseldorf, Cologne, Krefeld, Frankfurt International Airport and Giessen:Neustadt an der Weinstrasse (Southwest)::main customs offices: Koblenz, Heilbronn, Karlsruhe, Lörrach, Singen, Stuttgart, Ulm, Saarbrücken and Darmstadt: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.
