Its head offices are located in Bonn, while several regional offices can be found all over Germany, divided by the region they serve: East (Berlin), Central (Frankfurt am Main with branch in Saarbrücken), North (Hanover with branch in Hamburg), South West (Karlsruhe with branch in Stuttgart), West (Köln with branch in Essen) and Southern Germany (Munich with branch in Nuremberg). 138 people are employed at the BEV's head office, 791 at the varions branches. Including civil-servants delegated to the Deutsche Bahn AG to serve in their former positions, the BEV has (2007) a staff of about 4,700.[1] Until his death on December 5, 2006 the president of the BEV was Rolf Heine.
