history
With the renaming of the Federal Border Guard on July 1, 2005, the former Federal Border Guard Association (bgv) also renamed itself to the Federal Police . Its long-time chairman Knut Paul gave up his post to the already retired and last chairman, Rüdiger Redwisch.
The former DPolG Federal Police Association was led by the chairman Hans Joachim Zastrow. The main seat of this professional association within the DPolG was Lübeck.
On October 7, 2011, the new DPolG Federal Police Union was founded in Berlin . The DPolG Federal Police Union is the merger of the Federal Police Section in the German Police Union (DPolG) and the Federal Police Union bgv. The delegates from the two unions approved the merger proposal with an overwhelming majority.
