Library

The basis for efficient judicial practice, especially at a federal court, is a well-equipped library. The library of the Federal Fiscal Court has fulfilled this purpose without interruption since the foundation of the Reich Fiscal Court in 1918. In accordance with the mandate of the Federal Fiscal Court, the focus of the collection is on tax and customs law, but material on other legal areas affecting the judicial practice of the Federal Fiscal Court is also available. With holdings of more than 170,000 volumes, the library is one of the largest specialist libraries in its field.

The library of the Federal Fiscal Court is a reference library that is not open to the general public and serves primarily to support the judges and staff of the Court. The holdings are stored in the reading room with nine workstations, a repository and reference libraries in meeting rooms and offices. Apart from an extensive stock of monographs and journal volumes, the reading room houses over 200 current periodicals. Moreover, various legal databases are available to all users at their own workplace.
