Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	2. Statement of Accounting Policies
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ.
	Earnings Per Common Share
	Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income applicable to common shares (net income less dividend requirements for preferred stock, accretion of preferred stock discount and redemption of preferred stock) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. All outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends are considered participating securities for the calculation. Diluted earnings per common share include the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options, warrants, restricted stock awards and stock grants. See also Note 4.
	Comprehensive Income
	Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities and the net unrecognized actuarial losses and unrecognized prior service costs associated with the Company’s Defined Benefit Postretirement Medical Plan. All items included in other comprehensive income are reported net of tax. See also Notes 5 and 16 and the Statements of Comprehensive Income.
	Cash Flows
	Cash and cash equivalents include amounts due from banks and overnight investments with the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”). Cash and amounts due from depository institutions include required balances on hand or on deposit at the FHLB and Federal Reserve of approximately $6,456,000 and $1,506,000, respectively, at December 31, 2014 to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements. Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposit transactions, interest bearing deposits in other financial institutions and repurchase agreements.
	Investment Securities
	Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and evaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity when First Defiance has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity and are reported at cost, adjusted for premiums and discounts that are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity.
	Debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in other comprehensive income (loss) until realized. Realized gains and losses are included in gains (losses) on securities or other-than-temporary impairment losses on securities. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are recognized on the trade date based on the specific identification method.
	Interest income includes amortization of purchase premiums and discounts. Premiums and discounts are amortized on the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage-backed securities where prepayments are expected. Securities with unrealized losses are reviewed quarterly to determine if value impairment is other–than-temporary. In performing this review management considers the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition of the issuer, the impact of changes in market interest rates on market value and whether the Company intends to sell or it would be more than likely required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings. For debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: (1) other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement and (2) OTTI related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income.  The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. For equity securities, the entire amount of impairment is recognized through earnings.
	FHLB Stock
	First Federal is a member of the FHLB system. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts. FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income. At December 31, 2014, the Company holds $13.8 million at the FHLB of Cincinnati and $10,000 at the FHLB of Indianapolis.
	Loans Receivable
	Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal amount outstanding, net of deferred loan fees and costs, purchase premiums and discounts and the allowance for loan losses. Deferred fees net of deferred incremental loan origination costs, are amortized to interest income generally over the contractual life of the loan using the interest method without anticipating prepayments. The recorded investment in loans includes accrued interest receivable and net deferred fees and costs and undisbursed loan amounts.
	Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are classified as loans held for sale and are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value, as determined by outstanding commitments from investors. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recorded as a valuation allowance and charged to earnings. Mortgage loans held for sale are generally sold with servicing rights retained. The carrying value of mortgage loans sold is reduced by the amount allocated to the servicing right. Gains or losses on sales of mortgage loans are based on the difference between the selling price and the carrying value of the related loan sold.
	During 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company had realized or accrued losses totaling $298,000, $597,000 and $73,000 pertaining to loans sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac but repurchased due to underwriting issues. Repurchase losses are recognized when the Company determines they are probable and estimable.
	Interest receivable is accrued on loans and credited to income as earned. The accrual of interest on loans 90 days delinquent or impaired is discontinued when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due. For these loans, interest accrual is only to the extent cash payments are received. The accrual of interest on these loans is generally resumed after a pattern of repayment has been established and the collection of principal and interest is reasonably assured.
	Acquired Loans
	Valuation allowances for all acquired loans subject to FASB ASC Topic 310 reflect only those losses incurred after acquisition—that is, the present value of cash flows expected at acquisition that are not expected to be collected.
	The Company acquires loans individually and in groups or portfolios. At acquisition, the Company reviews each loan to determine whether there is evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and if it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the loan’s contractual terms. If both conditions exist, the Company determines whether each such loan is to be accounted for individually or whether such loans will be assembled into pools of loans based on common risk characteristics (credit score, loan type and date of origination). The Company considers expected prepayments, and estimates the amount and timing of undiscounted expected principal, interest, and other cash flows (expected at acquisition) for each loan and subsequently aggregated pool of loans.
	The Company determines the excess of the loan’s or pool’s scheduled contractual principal and contractual interest payments over all cash flows expected at acquisition as an amount that should not be accreted (nonaccretable difference). The remaining amount—representing the excess of the loan’s cash flows expected to be collected over the amount paid—is accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the loan or pool (accretable yield).
	Over the life of the loan or pool, the Company continues to estimate cash flows expected to be collected, and evaluates whether the present value of its loans determined using the effective interest rates has decreased and, if so, recognizes a loss. The present value of any subsequent increase in the loan’s or pool’s actual cash flows or cash flows expected to be collected is used first to reverse any existing valuation allowance for that loan or pool. For any remaining increases in cash flows expected to be collected, the Company adjusts the amount of accretable yield recognized on a prospective basis over the loan’s or pool’s remaining life.
	Allowance for Loan Losses
	The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio and is based on the size and current risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, an assessment of individual problem loans, actual loss experience, current economic events in specific industries and geographical areas and other pertinent factors, including general economic conditions. Determination of the allowance is inherently subjective as it requires significant estimates, including the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience and consideration of economic trends, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off.
	For 2013 and 2014, management used a three-year look-back period in calculating the historical loss ratio. Management is not certain that the relatively low levels of charge offs incurred in previous quarters are sustainable given low levels of economic growth in certain markets of the Company’s footprint warranting the use of a three-year look-back period. All quarters are given equal weighting in the calculation.
	Loan losses are charged off against the allowance when in management’s estimation it is unlikely that the loan will be collected, while recoveries of amounts previously charged off are credited to the allowance. A provision for loan loss is charged to operations based on management’s periodic evaluation of the factors previously mentioned, as well as other pertinent factors in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at the level deemed adequate by management. The determination of whether a loan is considered past due or delinquent is based on the contractual payment terms. Loans are considered past due when the contractual amounts due with respect to principal and interest are not received within 30 days of the contractual due date. All loans are placed on nonaccrual status at 90 days past due unless the loan is adequately secured and is in process of collection. Any loan in the portfolio may be placed on nonaccrual status prior to becoming 90 days past due when collection of principal or interest is in doubt.
	The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. Impaired loans have been recognized in conformity with FASB ASC Topic 310.
	A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loans agreement. Loans, for which terms have been modified and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and classified as impaired. A cash flow analysis of the net present value is performed and an allowance may be established based on the outcome of that analysis, or if the loan is deemed to be collateral dependent an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral. All modifications are reviewed by the First Federal’s senior loan committee to determine whether or not the modification constitutes a troubled debt restructure. Commercial and commercial real estate loans are individually evaluated for impairment. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported net of the allowance allocation which is determined based on the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures.
	The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Company over the most recent three years. Loss experience is adjusted for other economic factors based on the identified risks, credit related or trends present for each portfolio segment. These economic factors include consideration of the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations. The following portfolio segments have been identified:
	Commercial Real Estate Loans (consisting of multi-family residential and non-residential): Commercial real estate loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial and industrial loans. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and the repayment of these loans is largely dependent on the successful operation of the property. Loan performance may be adversely affected by factors impacting the general economy or conditions specific to the real estate market such as geographic location and/or property type.
	Commercial Loans: Commercial credit is extended primarily to middle market customers. Such credits are typically comprised of working capital loans, loans for physical asset expansion, asset acquisition loans and other business loans. Loans to closely held businesses will generally be guaranteed in full or for a meaningful amount by the businesses' principal owners. Commercial loans are made based primarily on the historical and projected cash flow of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not behave as forecasted and collateral securing loans may fluctuate in value due to economic or individual performance factors. Minimum standards and underwriting guidelines have been established for all commercial loan types.
	Consumer Finance Loans: Consumer finance loans are generally made to borrowers for a specific consumer purchase and are made based on their ability to repay with their current debt to income as well as the underlying collateral value of the item being purchased. Credit scores are part of the decision process of whether or not credit is extended. Minimum standards and underwriting guidelines have been established for all consumer loan types.
	1-4 Family Residential Real Estate Loans: 1-4 family residential real estate loans can be categorized two different ways. One part of this portfolio is owner occupied and are made based primarily on the ability of the individual borrower to support the payments as well as the payments of any other debt the borrower may have outstanding at the time the loan is made. The other part of this portfolio is non-owner occupied income producing property and is made primarily based on the cash flow stream from rental income as well as the cash flow support from the borrower’s unrelated cash flow. Both types of loans have a secondary repayment source of the underlying collateral and generally the loans are not extended at higher than an 80% LTV. Minimum standards and underwriting guidelines have been established for all 1-4 family residential real estate loan types.
	Construction Loans: The Company defines construction loans as loans where the loan proceeds are controlled by the Company and used exclusively for the improvement of real estate in which the Company holds a mortgage.
	Home Equity and Improvement Loans: Home Equity and Improvement loans are made to borrowers based on their ability to repay with their current debt to income as well as the underlying collateral value of the real estate taken as security. Minimum standards and underwriting guidelines have been established for all 1-4 family residential real estate loan types.
	Consumer finance, 1-4 family residential real estate (including construction) and home equity and improvement loans are subject to adverse employment conditions in the local economy which could increase default rate on loans.
	Servicing Rights
	Servicing rights are recognized separately when they are acquired through sales of loans. Servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value with the income statement effect recorded in gains on sales of loans. Fair value is based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts, when available, or alternatively, is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as the cost to service, the discount rate, the custodial earnings rate, an inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds and default rates and losses. The Company compares the valuation model inputs and results to published industry data in order to validate the model results and assumptions. All classes of servicing assets are subsequently measured using the amortization method which requires servicing rights to be amortized into non-interest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans, driven, generally, by changes in market interest rates.
	Servicing assets are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to carrying amount. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights into groupings based on predominant risk characteristics, such as interest rate, loan type and investor type. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual grouping, to the extent that fair value is less than the carrying amount. If the Company later determines that all or a portion of the impairment no longer exists for a particular grouping, a reduction of the allowance may be recorded as an increase to income. Changes in valuation allowances are reported with mortgage banking income on the income statement. The fair values of servicing rights are subject to significant fluctuations as a result of changes in estimated and actual prepayment speeds and default rates and losses.
	Servicing fee income, which is reported on the income statement with mortgage banking income, is recorded for fees earned for servicing loans. The fees are based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal, or a fixed amount per loan, and are recorded as income when earned. The amortization of mortgage servicing rights is netted against loan servicing fee income. Servicing fees totaled $3.6 million, $3.6 million and $3.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. Late fees and ancillary fees related to loan servicing are not material. See Note 8.
	Bank Owned Life Insurance
	The Company has purchased life insurance policies for certain key employees. Bank owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement.
	Premises and Equipment and Long Lived Assets
	Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization computed principally by the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
	Buildings and improvements	20 to 50 years
	Furniture, fixtures and equipment	3 to 15 years
	Long-lived assets to be held and those to be disposed of and certain intangibles are periodically evaluated for impairment. See Note 9.
	Goodwill and Other Intangibles
	Goodwill resulting from business combinations prior to January 1, 2009 represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill resulting from business combinations after January 1, 2009, is generally determined as the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but tested for impairment at least annually. The Company has selected November 30 as the date to perform the annual impairment test. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. Goodwill is the only intangible asset with an indefinite life on First Defiance’s balance sheet.
	Other intangible assets consist of core deposit and acquired customer relationship intangible assets arising from whole bank, insurance and branch acquisitions. They are initially recorded at fair value and then amortized on an accelerated basis over their estimated lives, which range from five years for non-compete agreements to 10 to 20 years for core deposit and customer relationship intangibles. See Note 10.
	Real Estate and Other Assets Held for Sale
	Other assets held for sale are comprised of properties acquired through foreclosure proceedings or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. These assets are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. Losses arising from the acquisition of such property are charged against the allowance for loan losses at the time of acquisition. These properties are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated costs to dispose. If fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure, the property is written down against expense. Costs after acquisition are expensed.
	Stock Compensation Plans
	Compensation cost is recognized for stock options and restricted share awards issued to employees and directors, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. A Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options. Restricted shares awards are valued at the market value of Company stock at the date of the grant. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. See Note 20.
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in Note 22. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.
	Transfers of Financial Assets
	Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Company, the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets and the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.
	Mortgage Banking Derivatives
	Commitments to fund mortgage loans (interest rate locks) to be sold into the secondary market and forward commitments for the future delivery of these mortgage loans are accounted for as free standing derivatives. Fair values of these mortgage derivatives are estimated based on changes in mortgage interest rates from the date the interest on the loan is locked. The Company enters into forward commitments for the future delivery of mortgage loans when interest rate locks are entered into, in order to hedge the change in interest rates resulting from its commitments to fund the loans. Changes in fair values of these derivatives are included in mortgage banking income.
	Operating Segments
Management considers the following factors in determining the need to disclose separate operating segments: (1) The nature of products and services, which are all financial in nature; (2) The type and class of customer for the products and services; in First Defiance’s case retail customers for retail bank and insurance products and commercial customers for commercial loan, deposit, life, health and property and casualty insurance needs; (3) The methods used to distribute products or provide services; such services are delivered through banking and insurance offices and through bank and insurance customer contact representatives. Retail and commercial customers are frequently targets for both banking and insurance products; (4) The nature of the regulatory environment; both banking and insurance entities are subject to various regulatory bodies and a number of specific regulations.
Quantitative thresholds as stated in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, Segment Reporting are monitored. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the reported revenue for First Insurance was 9.1% of total revenue for First Defiance. Total revenue includes net interest income (before provision for loan losses) plus non-interest income. Net income for First Insurance for the year ended December 31, 2014 was 4.2% of consolidated net income. Total assets of First Insurance at December 31, 2014 were 0.6% of total assets. First Insurance does not meet any of the quantitative thresholds of FASB ASC Topic 280. Accordingly, all of the financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable segment.
Dividend Restriction
Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by the savings bank to the holding company. See Note 17 for further details on restrictions.
Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments
Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.
Loss Contingencies
Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there are any such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of a sufficient level of future taxable income and recoverable taxes paid in prior years. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will be realized.
An effective tax rate of 35% is used to determine after-tax components of other comprehensive income (loss) included in the statements of stockholders’ equity. See Note 18.
A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.
The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.
Retirement Plans
Pension expense is the net of service and interest cost, return on plan assets and amortization of gains and losses not immediately recognized. Employee 401(k) plan expense is the amount of matching contributions. Deferred compensation and supplemental retirement plan expense allocates the benefits over years of service.
Reclassifications
Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
Accounting Standards Updates
In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-01, "Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects." ASU 2014-01 applies to all reporting entities that invest in qualified affordable housing projects through limited liability entities. The pronouncement permits reporting entities to make an accounting policy election to account for these investments using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions exist. The pronouncement also requires disclosure that enables users of its financial statements to understand the nature of these investments. Under the proportional amortization method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit). The pronouncement should be applied retrospectively for all periods presented, effective for annual periods and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2014-01 in January 2014 and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had $4.6 million in qualified investments recorded in other assets, $3.0 million in unfunded commitments recorded in other liabilities and $117,000 of tax credits (benefit) recorded in federal income taxes.
In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, “Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure.” The objective of the amendments in ASU 2014-04 to Topic 310, “Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors,” is to reduce diversity by clarifying when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. An entity can elect to adopt the amendments using either a modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, "Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period." The amendments in the ASU require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. The performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period. The total amount of compensation cost recognized during and after the requisite service period should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately vest. The requisite service period ends when the employee can cease rendering service and still be eligible to vest in the award if the performance target is achieved. The amendments in this ASU are effective for interim or annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015; early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in this ASU either: (1) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date; or (2) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-12 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

	On July 1, 2011, First Defiance acquired PDI, an insurance agency headquartered in Maumee and Oregon, Ohio, for a cash purchase price of $4.8 million and future consideration to be paid in cash in 2012, 2013, and 2014. As of December 31, 2014, management has reported goodwill of approximately $4.0 million and identifiable intangible assets of $689,000 consisting of a customer relationship intangible of $482,000 and a non-compete intangible of $207,000. The transaction included a contingent payable with a maximum cash payout of $822,800, of which $157,000, $596,000 and $70,000 was paid in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. $20,000 was expensed in 2014 with the final payout. The Company accounted for the transaction under the acquisition method of accounting which requires purchased assets and assumed liabilities to be recorded at their respective acquisition date fair value. Disclosure of pro forma results of this acquisition is not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

With the exception of trust preferred securities and corporate bonds, the above securities all have fixed interest rates, and all securities have defined maturities. Their fair value is sensitive to movements in market interest rates. First Defiance has the ability and intent to hold these investments for a time necessary to recover the amortized cost without impacting its liquidity position and it is not more than likely that the Company will be required to sell the investments before anticipated recovery.
Realized gains from the sales and calls of investment securities totaled $932,000 ($652,000 after tax) in 2014 while there were realized gains of $97,000 ($68,000 after tax) and $2.1 million ($1.4 million after tax) in 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Management evaluates securities for OTTI on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. The investment portfolio is evaluated for OTTI by segregating the portfolio into two general segments. Investment securities classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity are generally evaluated for OTTI under FASB ASC Topic 320. Certain collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”) are evaluated for OTTI under FASB ASC Topic 325, Investment – Other.
When OTTI occurs under either model, the amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether an entity intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current period credit loss. If an entity intends to sell or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current period credit loss, the OTTI shall be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. If an entity does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current period loss, the OTTI shall be separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of OTTI related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected compared to the book value of the security and is recognized in earnings. The amount of OTTI related to other factors shall be recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings shall become the new amortized cost basis of the investment.
In 2014, management determined there was no OTTI. In 2013, management determined that two CDOs had OTTI resulting in a write-down of $337,000 ($219,000 after tax). The 2013 OTTI was related to two CDOs that were disallowed under the Final Interim Volcker Rule of the Dodd-Frank Act released on January 14, 2014, requiring the Company to liquidate these securities before a certain date. The Company received Level 1 pricing and wrote these two CDOs to that value as of December 31, 2013 and subsequently sold these two securities on January 15, 2014. In 2012, management determined that one CDO had OTTI resulting in a write-down of $4,500 ($2,900 after tax).
The Company holds three CDOs at December 31, 2014 with a zero value.
The amount of OTTI recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) relating to the CDOs was zero at December 31, 2014. There was $645,000 of OTTI recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income at December 31, 2013.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments Contingencies and Guarantees [Text Block]	6. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
	Loan Commitments
	Loan commitments are made to accommodate the financial needs of First Federal’s customers; however, there are no long-term, fixed-rate loan commitments that result in market risk. Standby letters of credit commit the Company to make payments on behalf of customers when certain specified future events occur. They primarily are issued to facilitate customers’ trade transactions.
	Both arrangements have credit risk, essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers, and are subject to the Company’s normal credit policies. Collateral (e.g., securities, receivables, inventory and equipment) is obtained based on management’s credit assessment of the customer.
	The Company’s maximum obligation to extend credit for loan commitments (unfunded loans and unused lines of credit) and standby letters of credit outstanding on December 31 was as follows (In Thousands):
		2014				2013
		Fixed Rate		Variable Rate		Fixed Rate		Variable Rate
	Commitments to make loans	$	37,546	$	69,232	$	57,914	$	59,632
	Unused lines of credit		20,385		307,449		18,047		257,939
	Standby letters of credit		-		17,886		-		17,680
	Total	$	57,931	$	394,567	$	75,962	$	335,251
	Commitments to make loans are generally made for periods of 60 days or less. The fixed rate loan commitments at December 31, 2014 have interest rates ranging from 2.00% to 18.00% and maturities ranging from less than 1 year to 30 years.
	In addition to the above commitments, at December 31, 2014, First Defiance had commitments to sell $11.6 million of loans to Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, FHLB of Cincinnati or BB&T Mortgage.

Troubled Debt Restructurings
As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company has a recorded investment in troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) of $33.0 million and $33.4 million, respectively. The Company has allocated $1.1 million and $1.2 million, of specific reserves to those loans at December 31, 2014 and 2013, and has committed to lend additional amounts totaling up to $69,000 and $300,000 at December 31, 2014 and 2013.
The Company offers various types of concessions when modifying a loan, however, forgiveness of principal is rarely granted. Each TDR is uniquely designed to meet the specific needs of the borrower. Commercial and industrial loans modified in a TDR often involve temporary interest-only payments, term extensions, and converting revolving credit lines to term loans. Additional collateral or an additional guarantor is often requested when granting a concession. Commercial mortgage loans modified in a TDR often involve temporary interest-only payments, re-amortization of remaining debt in order to lower payments, and sometimes reducing the interest rate lower than the current market rate. Residential mortgage loans modified in a TDR are comprised of loans where monthly payments are lowered, either through interest rate reductions or principal only payments for a period of time, to accommodate the borrowers’ financial needs, interest is capitalized into principal, or the term and amortization are extended. Home equity modifications are made infrequently and usually involve providing an interest rate that is lower than the borrower would be able to obtain due to credit issues. All retail loans where the borrower is in bankruptcy are classified as TDRs regardless of whether or not a concession is made.
Of the loans modified in a TDR, $8.3 million are on non-accrual status and partial charge-offs have in some cases been taken against the outstanding balance. Loans modified as a TDR may have the financial effect of increasing the allowance associated with the loan. If the loan is determined to be collateral dependent, the estimated fair value of the collateral, less any selling costs is used to determine if there is a need for a specific allowance or charge-off. If the loan is determined to be cash flow dependent, the allowance is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s pre-modification effective interest rate.
The following table presents loans by class modified as TDRs that occurred during the years ending December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 (Dollars in Thousands):

The loans described above increased the allowance for loan losses  (“ALLL”) by $234,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014, $27,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013, and decreased the ALLL by $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Of the 2014 modifications, 16 were made TDRs due to the fact that the borrower has filed bankruptcy, 5 were made TDRs due to a rate reduction, 1 was made a TDR due to an interest only period, 8 were made TDRs due to extending the amortization, 2 were made TDRs due to a reduction in the payment, 9 were made TDRs due to advancing or renewing funds to a watchlist credit, 4 were made to term out lines of credit, 5 were made to extend the maturity of existing loans, and 20 were made TDRs to refinance current debt for payment relief.
The following table presents loans by class modified as TDRs for which there was a payment default within twelve months following the modification during the years ending December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012:

The TDRs that subsequently defaulted described above decreased the ALLL by $14,000 after $176,000 in charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2014, increased the ALLL by $21,000 after $58,000 in charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2013, and increased the ALLL by $631,000 after $1.5 million in charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2012.
A default for purposes of this disclosure is a TDR loan in which the borrower is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms.
The terms of certain other loans were modified during the periods ending December 31, 2014 and 2013 that did not meet the definition of a TDR. The modification of these loans involved a modification of the terms of a loan to borrowers who were not experiencing financial difficulties. A total of 153 loans were modified under this definition during the twelve month period ended December 31, 2014 and a total of 152 loans were modified under this definition during the twelve month period ended December 31, 2013.
In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed regarding the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification.
Credit Quality Indicators
Loans are categorized into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. Loans are analyzed individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes all non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans and certain homogenous mortgage, home equity and consumer loans. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis. First Defiance uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution's credit position at some future date.
Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Not Graded. Loans classified as not graded are generally smaller balance residential real estate, home equity and consumer installment loans which are originated primarily by using an automated underwriting system. These loans are monitored based on their delinquency status and are evaluated individually only if they are seriously delinquent.
Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans. As of December 31, 2014, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows (In Thousands):

	Amortization of mortgage servicing rights is computed based on payments and payoffs of the related mortgage loans serviced.
	The Company established an accrual for secondary market buy-backs totaling $359,000 for 2014, which was partially offset by reversing $67,000 of accrued expenses in the first quarter of 2014 related to the Freddie Mac post-foreclosure review that began in the third quarter of 2013 and was reversed in 2014 with no losses resulting. This resulted in secondary market buy-back expense of $298,000 for the full year of 2014 compared to $597,000 and $73,000 of expense for the same period in 2013 and 2012, respectively.

	Custodial escrow balances maintained in connection with serviced loans were $10.9 million and $10.4 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	Significant assumptions at December 31, 2014 used in determining the value of MSRs include a weighted average prepayment speed assumption (“PSA”) of 209 and a weighted average discount rate of 10.04%. Significant assumptions at December 31, 2013 used in determining the value of MSRs include a weighted average prepayment rate of 212 PSA and a weighted average discount rate of 10.04%.
	A sensitivity analysis of the current fair value to immediate 10% and 20% adverse changes in those assumptions as of December 31, 2014 is presented below. These sensitivities are hypothetical. Changes in fair value based on 10% and 20% variation in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in the assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the MSR is calculated independently without changing any other assumption. In reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another (for example, changes in mortgage interest rates, which drive changes in prepayment rate estimates, could result in changes in the discount rates), which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities.

Junior Subordinated Debentures Owed To Unconsolidated Subsidiary Trust Disclosure [Text Block]	13. Junior Subordinated Debentures Owed to Unconsolidated Subsidiary Trust
	In March 2007, the Company sponsored an affiliated trust, First Defiance Statutory Trust II (“Trust Affiliate II”) that issued $15 million of Guaranteed Capital Trust Securities (Trust Preferred Securities). In connection with the transaction, the Company issued $15.5 million of Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (“Subordinated Debentures”) to Trust Affiliate II. The Company formed Trust Affiliate II for the purpose of issuing Trust Preferred Securities to third-party investors and investing the proceeds from the sale of these capital securities solely in Subordinated Debentures of the Company. The Subordinated Debentures held by Trust Affiliate II are the sole assets of that trust. The Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of this Trust (variable interest entity), therefore the trust is not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements, but rather the subordinated debentures are shown as a liability. Distributions on the Trust Preferred Securities issued by Trust Affiliate II are payable quarterly at a variable rate equal to the three-month LIBOR rate plus 1.5%. The Coupon rate payable on the Trust Preferred Securities issued by Trust Affiliate II was 1.74% and 1.75% as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 respectively.
	The Trust Preferred Securities issued by Trust Affiliate II are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or part, upon repayment of the Subordinated Debentures. The Company has entered into an agreement that fully and unconditionally guarantees the Trust Preferred Securities subject to the terms of the guarantee. The Trust Preferred Securities and Subordinated Debentures mature on June 15, 2037, but can be redeemed at the Company’s option at any time now.
	The Company also sponsors an affiliated trust, First Defiance Statutory Trust I (“Trust Affiliate I”), that issued $20 million of Trust Preferred Securities in 2005. In connection with this transaction, the Company issued $20.6 million of Subordinated Debentures to Trust Affiliate I. Trust Affiliate I was formed for the purpose of issuing Trust Preferred Securities to third-party investors and investing the proceeds from the sale of these capital securities solely in Subordinated Debentures of the Company. The Junior Debentures held by Trust Affiliate I are the sole assets of the trust. The Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of this Trust (variable interest entity), therefore the trust is not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements, but rather the subordinated debentures are shown as a liability. Distributions on the Trust Preferred Securities issued by Trust Affiliate I are payable quarterly at a variable rate equal to the three-month LIBOR rate plus 1.38%. The Coupon rate payable on the Trust Preferred Securities issued by Trust Affiliate I was 1.62% and 1.63% as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 respectively.
	The Trust Preferred Securities issued by Trust Affiliate I are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the Subordinated Debentures. The Company has entered into an agreement that fully and unconditionally guarantees the Trust Preferred Securities subject to the terms of the guarantee. The Trust Preferred Securities and Subordinated Debentures mature on December 15, 2035, but can be redeemed at the Company’s option at any time now.
	The subordinated debentures may be included in Tier 1 capital (with certain limitations applicable) under current regulatory guidelines and interpretations.
	A summary of all junior subordinated debentures issued by the Company to affiliates follows. These amounts represent the par value of the obligations owed to these affiliates, including the Company’s equity interest in the trusts.

Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits Disclosure [Text Block]	16. Postretirement Benefits
	First Defiance sponsors a defined benefit postretirement plan that is intended to supplement Medicare coverage for certain retirees who meet minimum age requirements. First Federal employees who retired prior to April 1, 1997 who completed 20 years of service after age 40 receive full medical coverage at no cost. First Federal employees retiring after April 1, 1997 are provided medical benefits at a cost based on their combined age and years of service at retirement. Surviving spouses are also eligible for continued coverage after the retiree is deceased at a subsidy level that is 10% less than what the retiree is eligible for. First Federal employees retiring before July 1, 1997 receive dental and vision care in addition to medical coverage. First Federal employees who retire after July 1, 1997 are not eligible for dental or vision care.
	First Federal employees who were born after December 31, 1950 are not eligible for the medical coverage described above at retirement. Rather, a one-time medical spending account of up to $10,000 (based on the participant’s age and years of service) will be established to reimburse medical expenses for those individuals. First Insurance employees who were born before December 31, 1950 can continue coverage until they reach age 65, or in lieu of continuing coverage, can elect the medical spending account option, subject to eligibility requirements. Employees hired or acquired after January 1, 2003 are eligible only for the medical spending account option.
	Included in accumulated other comprehensive income at December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 are the following amounts that have not yet been recognized in net periodic benefit cost:

Regulatory Capital Requirements [Abstract]
Regulatory Capital Requirements under Banking Regulations [Text Block]	17. Regulatory Matters
	First Federal is subject to minimum capital adequacy guidelines.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators, which could have a material impact on First Federal’s financial statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, First Federal must maintain capital amounts in excess of specified minimum ratios based on quantitative measures of First Federal’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.
	Quantitative measures to ensure capital adequacy require First Federal to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (as set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets, and Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets.
	The following schedule presents First Defiance consolidated and First Federal’s regulatory capital ratios as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (Dollars in Thousands):
	31-Dec-14

Risk-based capital is computed as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets of $1.81 billion and $1.80 billion for consolidated and the bank, respectively.

		-1	Core capital is computed as a percentage of adjusted total assets of $2.00 billion and $1.99 billion for consolidated and the bank, respectively. Risk-based capital is computed as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets of $1.64 billion and $1.64 billion for consolidated and the bank, respectively.
	Management believes that, as of December, 31, 2014, First Federal was “well capitalized” based on the ratios presented above. There are no conditions or events since the most recent notification from any of the regulatory agencies regarding those capital standards that management believes have changed any of the well capitalized categorizations of First Federal.
	First Federal is subject to the regulatory capital requirements administered by the OCC and FDIC. Regulatory authorities can initiate certain mandatory actions if First Federal fails to meet the minimum capital requirements, which could have a direct material effect on the Corporation’s financial statements. Management believes, as of December 31, 2014, that First Federal meets all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
	First Defiance is a unitary thrift holding company and is regulated by the Federal Reserve. First Defiance does not have prompt corrective action capital requirements as of December 31, 2014.
	Dividend Restrictions - Dividends paid by First Federal to First Defiance are subject to various regulatory restrictions. First Federal paid $21.0 million in dividends to First Defiance in 2014 and $3.0 million in 2013. First Federal can initiate dividend payments equal to its net profits (as defined by statute) for 2013 and 2014 plus 2015 net profits. During 2015, First Federal can declare dividends in the amount of $23.1 million from its earnings in 2013 and 2014 and from any of its 2015 net profits to First Defiance. First Insurance paid $1.2 million in dividends to First Defiance in 2014 and $1.5 million in dividends in 2013.

	Deferred federal income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
	Significant components of First Defiance’s deferred federal income tax assets and liabilities are as follows:
		December 31
		2014		2013
		(In Thousands)
	Deferred federal income tax assets:
	Allowance for loan losses	$	8,743	$	8,798
	Postretirement benefit costs		1,149		1,013
	Deferred compensation		1,629		1,412
	Impaired loans		524		986
	Capital loss carry-forward		-		555
	Impaired investments		-		971
	Accrued vacation		623		581
	Allowance for real estate held for sale losses		333		277
	Deferred loan origination fees and costs		311		265
	Other		1,481		718
	Total deferred federal income tax assets		14,793		15,576
	Deferred federal income tax liabilities:
	FHLB stock dividends		2,299		3,238
	Goodwill		5,019		4,586
	Mortgage servicing rights		3,181		3,211
	Fixed assets		1,714		1,693
	Other intangible assets		270		607
	Loan mark to market		315		515
	Net unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities		2,528		488
	Prepaid expenses		622		617
	Other		21		56
	Total deferred federal income tax liabilities		15,969		15,011
	Net deferred federal income tax asset (liability)	$	-1,176	$	565
	The realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets is dependent upon the Company’s ability to generate taxable income in future periods and the reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the same period and the ability to carryback any losses. The Company has evaluated the available evidence supporting the realization of its deferred tax assets and determined it is more likely than not that the assets will be realized and thus no valuation allowance was required at December 31, 2014.
	The Company had capital loss carry-forwards of zero and $1.6 million as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. During 2014 the Company generated capital gains through the sale of FHLB stock which fully utilized the capital loss carry-forward.
	Retained earnings at December 31, 2014 include approximately $11.0 million for which no tax provision for federal income taxes has been made. This amount represents the tax bad debt reserve at December 31, 1987, which is the end of the Company’s base year for purposes of calculating the bad debt deduction for tax purposes. If this portion of retained earnings is used in the future for any purpose other than to absorb bad debts, the amount used will be added to future taxable income. The unrecorded deferred tax liability on the above amount at December 31, 2014 was approximately $3.85 million.
	A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (In Thousands):
	Balance at January 1, 2012	$	141
	Additions based on tax positions related to the current year		-
	Additions for tax positions of prior years		-
	Reductions for tax positions of prior years		-
	Reductions due to the statute of limitations		-76

The Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase in the next twelve months.
The total amount of interest and penalties recorded in the income statement, net of the related federal tax effect, for the year ended December 31, 2014 was zero, and the amount accrued for interest and penalties (net of the related federal tax effect) at December 31, 2014 was zero.
The total amount of interest and penalties recorded in the income statement, net of the related federal tax effect, for the year ended December 31, 2013 was a net reversal of $26,000, and the amount accrued for interest and penalties (net of the related federal tax effect) at December 31, 2013 was zero.
The total amount of interest and penalties recorded in the income statement, net of the related federal tax effect, for the year ended December 31, 2012 was a net reversal of $22,000, and the amount accrued for interest and penalties (net of the related federal tax effect) at December 31, 2012 was $26,000.
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in the state of Indiana. The Company is no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities for years before 2010. The Company currently operates primarily in the states of Ohio and Michigan, which tax financial institutions based on their equity rather than their income.

	401(k) Plan
	Employees of First Defiance are eligible to participate in the First Defiance Financial Corp. 401(k) Employee Savings Plan (the “First Defiance 401(k)”) if they meet certain age and service requirements. Beginning in 2009, under the First Defiance 401(k), First Defiance matches 100% of the participants’ contributions up to 3% of compensation and then 50% of the participants’ contributions for the next 2% of compensation. Previously, matching contributions were 50% of the first 3% of participants contributions. The First Defiance 401(k) also provides for a discretionary First Defiance contribution in addition to the First Defiance matching contribution. First Defiance matching contributions totaled $919,000, $868,000 and $799,000 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. There were no discretionary contributions in any of those years.
	Group Life Plan
	On June 30, 2010, First Federal adopted the First Federal Bank of the Midwest Executive Group Life Plan – Post Separation (the “Group Life Plan”) in which various employees, including the Company’s named executive officers, may participate. Under the terms of the Group Life Plan, First Federal will purchase and own life insurance policies covering the lives of employees selected by the board of directors of First Federal as participants. There was $167,000, ($35,000), and $76,000 of expense recorded for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, with a liability of $892,000, $724,000 and $760,000 for future benefits recorded at December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In 2014, management changed the discount rate to 4.25% to reflect the current interest rate environment which resulted in an increase of the group life plan liability as of December 31, 2014.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block]	20. Stock Compensation Plans
	First Defiance has established equity based compensation plans for its directors and employees. On March 15, 2010, the Board adopted, and the shareholders approved at the 2010 Annual Shareholders Meeting, the First Defiance Financial Corp. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Equity Plan”). The 2010 Equity Plan replaced all plans existing at the time of its approval. All awards outstanding under prior plans remain in effect in accordance with their respective terms. Any new awards will be made under the 2010 Equity Plan. The 2010 Equity Plan allows for issuance of up to 350,000 common shares through the award of options, stock grants, restricted stock units (“RSU”), stock appreciation rights or other stock-based awards.
	As of December 31, 2014, 173,720 options have been granted pursuant to the 2010 equity plan and previous plans, and remain outstanding at option prices based on the market value of the underlying shares on the date the options were granted. Options granted under all plans vest 20% per year except for the 2009 grant to the Company’s executive officers, which vested 40% in 2011 and then 20% annually. All options expire ten years from the date of grant. Vested options of retirees expire on the earlier of the scheduled expiration date or three months after the retirement date.
	In March 2012, the Company approved a 2012 Short-Term Equity Incentive Plan (a “STIP”) and a 2012 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (a “LTIP”) for selected members of management. The plans were effective January 1, 2012 and provide for cash and/or equity benefits if certain performance targets are achieved. Equity awards issued under these plans will reduce the amount of awards available to be issued under the 2010 Equity Plan.
	Under the 2012 STIP the participants may earn up to 25% to 45% of their salary for potential payout based on the achievement of certain corporate and/or market area performance targets during the calendar year. The final value of the awards to be made under the 2012 STIP will be determined as of December 31 of each year and will be paid out in cash and/or equity, as elected by the participant, in accordance with the following vesting schedule: 50% in the first quarter after the calendar year, 25% on the one-year anniversary of the grant date, and 25% on the second-year anniversary. The participants are required to be employed on the day of payout in order to receive an award.
	Under the 2012 LTIP the participants may earn up to 25% to 45% of their salary for potential payout based on the achievement of certain corporate performance targets either over a two or three year period. The final amount of benefit under the under the 2012 LTIP was determined as of December 31, 2014. The benefits earned under the plan will be paid out in cash and/or equity, as elected by the participant, in the first quarter following the close of the performance period. The participants are required to be employed on the day of payout in order to receive the payment.
	In March 2013, the Company approved a 2013 STIP and a 2013 LTIP for selected members of management. Under the 2013 STIP the participants may earn up to 25% to 45% of their salary for potential payout based on the achievement of certain corporate performance targets during the calendar year. The final amount of awards earned under the 2013 STIP was paid out in cash in the first quarter of 2014.
	Under the 2013 LTIP the participants may earn up to 25% to 45% of their salary, depending upon their position, for potential payout in the form of equity awards based on the achievement of certain corporate performance targets over a three year period. The Company granted 86,065 RSUs to the participants in the 2013 LTIP effective January 1, 2013, which represents the maximum target award. The amount of benefit under the 2013 LTIP will be determined individually at the 12 month period ending December 31, 2013, the 24 month period ending December 31, 2014 and the 36 month period ending December 31, 2015. The awards’ vesting will be as follows: 16.7% of the target award after the end of the performance period ending December 31, 2013; 27.8% of the target award at the end of the performance period ending December 31, 2014; and 55.5% of the target award at the end of the performance period ending December 31, 2015. The RSUs shall vest between 0% and 100% of the applicable portion of the target award based on the portion of the performance targets that are achieved. RSUs settle in common shares in the first quarter following the close of the applicable performance period. The participants are required to be employed on the day of payout in order to receive the payment. A total of 6,425 RSU’s were issued to the participants in the second quarter of 2014 for the year one performance period ended December 31, 2013.
	In March 2014, the Company approved a 2014 STIP and a 2014 LTIP for selected members of management.
	Under the 2014 STIP, the participants may earn up to 30% to 45% of their salary for potential payout based on the achievement of certain corporate performance targets during the calendar year. The final amount of benefits under the 2014 STIP were determined as of December 31, 2014 and will be paid out in cash in the first quarter of 2015. The participants are required to be employed on the day of payout in order to receive such payment.
	Under the 2014 LTIP, the participants may earn up to 20% to 45% of their salary for potential payout in the form of equity awards based on the achievement of certain corporate performance targets over a three-year period. The Company granted 30,538 RSU’s to the participants in the 2014 LTIP effective January 1, 2014, which represents the maximum target award. The amount of benefit under the 2014 LTIP will be determined individually at the end of the 36 month performance period ending December 31, 2016. The awards will vest 100% of the target award at the end of the performance period ending December 31, 2016. The benefits earned under the 2014 LTIP will be paid out in equity in the first quarter of 2017. The participants are required to be employed on the day of payout in order to receive such payment.
	The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Company’s common shares. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and post-vesting termination behavior. The expected term of options granted is based on historical data and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes into account that the options are not transferable. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.
	The fair value of stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2014 was determined at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes stock option-pricing model and the following assumptions:
		Twelve Months ended

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value, Measurement Inputs, Disclosure [Text Block]	22. Fair Value
	FASB ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability shall not be adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact and (iv) willing to transact.
	FASB ASC Topic 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a discounted basis. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). Valuation techniques should be consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available. In that regard, FASB ASC Topic 820 established a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
		⋅	Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
		⋅	Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by a correlation or other means.
		⋅	Level 3: Unobservable inputs for determining fair value of assets and liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
	A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.
	Available for sale securities - Securities classified as available for sale are generally reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs where the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service that uses matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows and the bonds’ terms and conditions, among other things. Securities in Level 1 include federal agency preferred stock securities. Securities in Level 2 include U.S. Government agencies, mortgage-backed securities, corporate bonds and municipal securities. The Company classified its pooled trust preferred collateralized debt obligations as Level 1 and Level 3 at December 31, 2013. The portfolio consisted of collateralized debt obligations backed by pools of trust preferred securities issued by financial institutions and insurance companies. Two collateralized debt obligations backed by insurance companies were classified as Level 1 at December 31, 2013 due to receiving a Level 1 price at which the securities were subsequently sold on January 15, 2014 as a result of these securities being disallowed under the final interim Volcker rule. The two collateralized debt obligations backed by financial institutions are allowed under the final interim Volcker Rule and classified as Level 3 based on the lack of observable market data, the Company estimated fair values based on the observable data available and reasonable unobservable market data. The Company estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flow model, which used appropriately adjusted discount rates reflecting credit and liquidity risks.
	Impaired loans - Fair values for impaired collateral dependent loans are generally based on appraisals obtained from licensed real estate appraisers and in certain circumstances consideration of offers obtained to purchase properties prior to foreclosure.  Appraisals for commercial real estate generally use three methods to derive value: cost, sales or market comparison and income approach.  The cost method bases value on the cost to replace the current property.  Value of market comparison approach evaluates the sales price of similar properties in the same market area.  The income approach considers net operating income generated by the property and an investors required return.  Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available.  Comparable sales adjustments are based on known sales prices of similar type and similar use properties and duration of time that the property has been on the market to sell.  Such adjustments made in the appraisal process are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.
	Real Estate held for sale - Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are then reviewed monthly by members of the asset review committee for valuation changes and are accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals which may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including cost, comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments may be significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.
	Appraisals for both collateral-dependent impaired loans and other real estate owned are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company.  Once received, a member of the Company’s asset quality or collections department reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal.  Appraisal values are discounted from 0% to 20% to account for other factors that may impact the value of collateral. In determining the value of impaired collateral dependent loans and other real estate owned, significant unobservable inputs may be used, which include:  physical condition of comparable properties sold, net operating income generated by the property and investor rates of return.
	Mortgage servicing rights – On a quarterly basis, mortgage servicing rights are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to the carrying amount. If the carrying amount of an individual tranche exceeds fair value, impairment is recorded on that tranche so that the servicing asset is carried at fair value. Fair value is determined at a tranche level based on a model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The valuation model utilizes assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income and are validated against available market data (Level 2).
	Mortgage banking derivative - The fair value of mortgage banking derivatives are evaluated monthly based on derivative valuation models using quoted prices for similar assets adjusted for specific attributes of the commitments and other observable market data at the valuation date (Level 2).

	There was one corporate bond security that had recent documented trade activity resulting in that security being transferred to Level 1 from Level 2 during the period ended December 31, 2014. Trust preferred stock in the amount of $1,654,000 was transferred from level 3 to level 1 in 2013 due to two securities being disallowed under the final interim Volcker Rule resulting in the company selling these two securities on January 15, 2014 after obtaining a Level 1 price. The selling price (Level 1) was used to determine the fair value at December 31, 2013.

Impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a fair value of $7.8 million, with a $19,000 valuation allowance and a fair value of $10.7 million with no valuation allowance at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. A provision expense of $3.0 million and $3.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 related to these impaired loans was included in earnings.
Mortgage servicing rights, which are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, had a fair value of $1.0 million with a valuation allowance of $911,000 and a fair value of $1.4 million with a valuation allowance of $1.0 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. A recovery of $116,000 and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was included in earnings.
Real estate held for sale is determined using Level 3 inputs which include appraisals and are adjusted for changes in market conditions. The change in fair value of real estate held for sale was $251,000 and $740,000 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 which was recorded directly as an adjustment to current earnings through non-interest expense.
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 825, the Fair Value Measurements tables are a comparative condensed consolidated statement of financial condition based on carrying amount and estimated fair values of financial instruments as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of First Defiance.
Much of the information used to arrive at “fair value” is highly subjective and judgmental in nature and therefore the results may not be precise. Subjective factors include, among other things, estimated cash flows, risk characteristics and interest rates, all of which are subject to change. With the exception of investment securities, the Company’s financial instruments are not readily marketable and market prices do not exist. Since negotiated prices for the instruments, which are not readily marketable, depend greatly on the motivation of the buyer and seller, the amounts that will actually be realized or paid per settlement or maturity of these instruments could be significantly different.
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, term notes payable and advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance, as a result of their short-term nature, is considered to be equal to fair value and are classified as Level 1.
It was not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.
The fair value of loans that reprice within 90 days is equal to their carrying amount. For other loans, the estimated fair value is calculated based on discounted cash flow analysis, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms, resulting in a Level 3 classification. Impaired loans are valued at the lower of cost or fair value as previously described. The allowance for loan losses is considered to be a reasonable adjustment for credit risk. The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price. The fair value of loans held for sale is estimated based on binding contracts and quotes from third party investors resulting in a Level 2 classification.
The fair value of accrued interest receivable is equal to the carrying amounts resulting in a Level 2 or Level 3 classification, which is consistent with its underlying value.
The fair value of non-interest bearing deposits are considered equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., carrying value) and are classified as Level 1. The fair value of savings, NOW and certain money market accounts are equal to their carrying amounts and are a Level 2 classification. Fair values of fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits resulting in a Level 2 classification.
The fair values of securities sold under repurchase agreements are equal to their carrying amounts resulting in a Level 2 classification. The carrying value of subordinated debentures and deposits with fixed maturities is estimated based on discounted cash flow analyses based on interest rates currently being offered on instruments with similar characteristics and maturities resulting in a Level 3 classification.
FHLB advances with maturities greater than 90 days are valued based on discounted cash flow analysis, using interest rates currently being quoted for similar characteristics and maturities resulting in a Level 2 classification. The cost or value of any call or put options is based on the estimated cost to settle the option at December 31, 2014.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block]

23. Derivative Financial Instruments

Commitments to fund certain mortgage loans (interest rate locks) to be sold into the secondary market and forward commitments for the future delivery of mortgage loans to third-party investors are considered derivatives. It is the Company’s practice to enter into forward commitments for the future delivery of residential mortgage loans when interest rate lock commitments are entered into in order to economically hedge the effect of changes in interest rates resulting from its commitments to fund the loans. These mortgage banking derivatives are not designated in hedge relationships. First Federal had approximately $7.4 million and $7.5 million of interest rate lock commitments at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. There were $11.6 million and $12.1 million of forward commitments for the future delivery of residential mortgage loans at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The fair value of these mortgage banking derivatives are reflected by a derivative asset or a derivative liability. The table below provides data about the carrying values of these derivative instruments:

The above amounts are included in mortgage banking income with gain on sale of mortgage loans. During 2014 and 2013, management determined that a group of loans, previously classified as held for sale, were no longer sellable and were transferred back into the portfolio. As a result, a $5,000 and $34,000 loss related to a fair value adjustment on those loans was recorded in 2014 and 2013, respectively. No such adjustments were made in 2012.

Preferred Stock, Number of Shares, Par Value and Other Disclosures [Abstract]
Preferred Stock [Text Block]	25. Preferred Stock
	On December 5, 2008, as part of the Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”), the Company entered into a Letter Agreement and Securities Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Purchase Agreement”) with the U.S. Treasury, pursuant to which the Company sold $37.0 million worth of shares of newly authorized Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share and liquidation value $1,000 per share (the “Senior Preferred Shares”) and also issued warrants (the “Warrants”) to the U.S. Treasury to acquire an additional 550,595 of common shares having an exercise price of $10.08 per share. The Warrants have a term of 10 years.
	The Senior Preferred Shares qualified as Tier 1 capital and paid cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per annum for the first five years, and 9% per annum thereafter. The Senior Preferred Shares could be redeemed by the Company after three years. The Senior Preferred Shares were not subject to any contractual restrictions on transfer, except that the U.S. Treasury or any its transferees may affect any transfer that, as a result of such transfer, would require the Company to become subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
	Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the ability of the Company to declare or pay dividends or distributions on, or purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire for consideration, its common shares was subject to restrictions, including a restriction against increasing dividends from the last quarterly cash dividend per share of $0.26 declared on the common stock prior to October 14, 2008. The redemption, purchase or other acquisition of trust preferred securities of the Company or its affiliates also was restricted.
	The Purchase Agreement also subjected the Company to certain of the executive compensation limitations included in the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the “EESA”). As a condition to the closing of the transaction, the Company’s Senior Executive Officers (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (the “Senior Executive Officers”), (i) voluntarily waived any claim against the U.S. Treasury or the Company for any changes to such officer’s compensation or benefits that are required to comply with the regulation issued by the U.S. Treasury under the CPP and acknowledged that the regulation may require modification of the compensation, bonus, incentive and other benefit plans, arrangements and policies and agreements as they relate to the period the U.S. Treasury owns the Senior Preferred Shares of the Company; and (ii) entered into a letter agreement with the Company amending the Benefit Plans with respect to such Senior Executive Officers as may be necessary, during the period that the U.S. Treasury owns the Senior Preferred Shares, as necessary to comply with Section 111(b) of the EESA.
	In June 2012, the U.S. Treasury sold its preferred shares of the Company through a public offering structured as a modified Dutch auction. The Company bid on its preferred shares in the auction after receiving approval from its regulators. The clearing price per preferred share was $962.66 (compared to a par value of $1,000.00 per share) and the Company was successful in repurchasing 16,560 of the 37,000 preferred shares outstanding through the auction process. The Company also acquired an additional 19,440 preferred shares in the secondary market prior to the end of the second quarter of 2012. The remaining 1,000 outstanding preferred shares were purchased at par value on July 18, 2012. The clearing prices per preferred share purchased in the secondary market were as follows: 1,100 shares at $997.50, 2,500 shares at $1,000.00 and 16,840 shares at $998.75.
	The net balance sheet impact was a reduction to stockholders’ equity of $36.4 million which is comprised of a decrease in preferred stock of $37.0 million and a $642,000 increase to retained earnings related to the discount on the shares repurchased, which is also included in net income applicable to common shares for purposes of calculating earnings per share.
	Included in the 2012 operating results is $181,000 of costs incurred by the Company related to the U.S. Treasury’s offering. All these costs were incurred in the second quarter of 2012. These costs are not tax-deductible.

Statement of Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2014
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Earnings Per Common Share
	Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income applicable to common shares (net income less dividend requirements for preferred stock, accretion of preferred stock discount and redemption of preferred stock) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. All outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends are considered participating securities for the calculation. Diluted earnings per common share include the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options, warrants, restricted stock awards and stock grants. See also Note 4.
Comprehensive Income, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Comprehensive Income
	Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities and the net unrecognized actuarial losses and unrecognized prior service costs associated with the Company’s Defined Benefit Postretirement Medical Plan. All items included in other comprehensive income are reported net of tax. See also Notes 5 and 16 and the Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Cash Flows
	Cash and cash equivalents include amounts due from banks and overnight investments with the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”). Cash and amounts due from depository institutions include required balances on hand or on deposit at the FHLB and Federal Reserve of approximately $6,456,000 and $1,506,000, respectively, at December 31, 2014 to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements. Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposit transactions, interest bearing deposits in other financial institutions and repurchase agreements.
Investment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Investment Securities
	Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and evaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity when First Defiance has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity and are reported at cost, adjusted for premiums and discounts that are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity.
	Debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in other comprehensive income (loss) until realized. Realized gains and losses are included in gains (losses) on securities or other-than-temporary impairment losses on securities. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are recognized on the trade date based on the specific identification method.
	Interest income includes amortization of purchase premiums and discounts. Premiums and discounts are amortized on the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage-backed securities where prepayments are expected. Securities with unrealized losses are reviewed quarterly to determine if value impairment is other–than-temporary. In performing this review management considers the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition of the issuer, the impact of changes in market interest rates on market value and whether the Company intends to sell or it would be more than likely required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings. For debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: (1) other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement and (2) OTTI related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income.  The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. For equity securities, the entire amount of impairment is recognized through earnings.
Stock In Federal Home Loan Bank [Policy Text Block]	FHLB Stock
	First Federal is a member of the FHLB system. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts. FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income. At December 31, 2014, the Company holds $13.8 million at the FHLB of Cincinnati and $10,000 at the FHLB of Indianapolis.
Policy Loans Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Loans Receivable
	Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal amount outstanding, net of deferred loan fees and costs, purchase premiums and discounts and the allowance for loan losses. Deferred fees net of deferred incremental loan origination costs, are amortized to interest income generally over the contractual life of the loan using the interest method without anticipating prepayments. The recorded investment in loans includes accrued interest receivable and net deferred fees and costs and undisbursed loan amounts.
	Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are classified as loans held for sale and are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value, as determined by outstanding commitments from investors. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recorded as a valuation allowance and charged to earnings. Mortgage loans held for sale are generally sold with servicing rights retained. The carrying value of mortgage loans sold is reduced by the amount allocated to the servicing right. Gains or losses on sales of mortgage loans are based on the difference between the selling price and the carrying value of the related loan sold.
	During 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company had realized or accrued losses totaling $298,000, $597,000 and $73,000 pertaining to loans sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac but repurchased due to underwriting issues. Repurchase losses are recognized when the Company determines they are probable and estimable.
	Interest receivable is accrued on loans and credited to income as earned. The accrual of interest on loans 90 days delinquent or impaired is discontinued when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due. For these loans, interest accrual is only to the extent cash payments are received. The accrual of interest on these loans is generally resumed after a pattern of repayment has been established and the collection of principal and interest is reasonably assured.
Certain Loans and Debt Securities Acquired in Transfer, Recognizing Interest Income on Impaired Loans, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Acquired Loans
	Valuation allowances for all acquired loans subject to FASB ASC Topic 310 reflect only those losses incurred after acquisition—that is, the present value of cash flows expected at acquisition that are not expected to be collected.
	The Company acquires loans individually and in groups or portfolios. At acquisition, the Company reviews each loan to determine whether there is evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and if it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the loan’s contractual terms. If both conditions exist, the Company determines whether each such loan is to be accounted for individually or whether such loans will be assembled into pools of loans based on common risk characteristics (credit score, loan type and date of origination). The Company considers expected prepayments, and estimates the amount and timing of undiscounted expected principal, interest, and other cash flows (expected at acquisition) for each loan and subsequently aggregated pool of loans.
	The Company determines the excess of the loan’s or pool’s scheduled contractual principal and contractual interest payments over all cash flows expected at acquisition as an amount that should not be accreted (nonaccretable difference). The remaining amount—representing the excess of the loan’s cash flows expected to be collected over the amount paid—is accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the loan or pool (accretable yield).
	Over the life of the loan or pool, the Company continues to estimate cash flows expected to be collected, and evaluates whether the present value of its loans determined using the effective interest rates has decreased and, if so, recognizes a loss. The present value of any subsequent increase in the loan’s or pool’s actual cash flows or cash flows expected to be collected is used first to reverse any existing valuation allowance for that loan or pool. For any remaining increases in cash flows expected to be collected, the Company adjusts the amount of accretable yield recognized on a prospective basis over the loan’s or pool’s remaining life.
Loans and Leases Receivable, Allowance for Loan Losses Policy [Policy Text Block]	Allowance for Loan Losses
	The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio and is based on the size and current risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, an assessment of individual problem loans, actual loss experience, current economic events in specific industries and geographical areas and other pertinent factors, including general economic conditions. Determination of the allowance is inherently subjective as it requires significant estimates, including the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience and consideration of economic trends, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off.
	For 2013 and 2014, management used a three-year look-back period in calculating the historical loss ratio. Management is not certain that the relatively low levels of charge offs incurred in previous quarters are sustainable given low levels of economic growth in certain markets of the Company’s footprint warranting the use of a three-year look-back period. All quarters are given equal weighting in the calculation.
	Loan losses are charged off against the allowance when in management’s estimation it is unlikely that the loan will be collected, while recoveries of amounts previously charged off are credited to the allowance. A provision for loan loss is charged to operations based on management’s periodic evaluation of the factors previously mentioned, as well as other pertinent factors in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at the level deemed adequate by management. The determination of whether a loan is considered past due or delinquent is based on the contractual payment terms. Loans are considered past due when the contractual amounts due with respect to principal and interest are not received within 30 days of the contractual due date. All loans are placed on nonaccrual status at 90 days past due unless the loan is adequately secured and is in process of collection. Any loan in the portfolio may be placed on nonaccrual status prior to becoming 90 days past due when collection of principal or interest is in doubt.
	The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. Impaired loans have been recognized in conformity with FASB ASC Topic 310.
	A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loans agreement. Loans, for which terms have been modified and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and classified as impaired. A cash flow analysis of the net present value is performed and an allowance may be established based on the outcome of that analysis, or if the loan is deemed to be collateral dependent an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral. All modifications are reviewed by the First Federal’s senior loan committee to determine whether or not the modification constitutes a troubled debt restructure. Commercial and commercial real estate loans are individually evaluated for impairment. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported net of the allowance allocation which is determined based on the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures.
	The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Company over the most recent three years. Loss experience is adjusted for other economic factors based on the identified risks, credit related or trends present for each portfolio segment. These economic factors include consideration of the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations. The following portfolio segments have been identified:
	Commercial Real Estate Loans (consisting of multi-family residential and non-residential): Commercial real estate loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial and industrial loans. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and the repayment of these loans is largely dependent on the successful operation of the property. Loan performance may be adversely affected by factors impacting the general economy or conditions specific to the real estate market such as geographic location and/or property type.
	Commercial Loans: Commercial credit is extended primarily to middle market customers. Such credits are typically comprised of working capital loans, loans for physical asset expansion, asset acquisition loans and other business loans. Loans to closely held businesses will generally be guaranteed in full or for a meaningful amount by the businesses' principal owners. Commercial loans are made based primarily on the historical and projected cash flow of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not behave as forecasted and collateral securing loans may fluctuate in value due to economic or individual performance factors. Minimum standards and underwriting guidelines have been established for all commercial loan types.
	Consumer Finance Loans: Consumer finance loans are generally made to borrowers for a specific consumer purchase and are made based on their ability to repay with their current debt to income as well as the underlying collateral value of the item being purchased. Credit scores are part of the decision process of whether or not credit is extended. Minimum standards and underwriting guidelines have been established for all consumer loan types.
	1-4 Family Residential Real Estate Loans: 1-4 family residential real estate loans can be categorized two different ways. One part of this portfolio is owner occupied and are made based primarily on the ability of the individual borrower to support the payments as well as the payments of any other debt the borrower may have outstanding at the time the loan is made. The other part of this portfolio is non-owner occupied income producing property and is made primarily based on the cash flow stream from rental income as well as the cash flow support from the borrower’s unrelated cash flow. Both types of loans have a secondary repayment source of the underlying collateral and generally the loans are not extended at higher than an 80% LTV. Minimum standards and underwriting guidelines have been established for all 1-4 family residential real estate loan types.
	Construction Loans: The Company defines construction loans as loans where the loan proceeds are controlled by the Company and used exclusively for the improvement of real estate in which the Company holds a mortgage.
	Home Equity and Improvement Loans: Home Equity and Improvement loans are made to borrowers based on their ability to repay with their current debt to income as well as the underlying collateral value of the real estate taken as security. Minimum standards and underwriting guidelines have been established for all 1-4 family residential real estate loan types.
	Consumer finance, 1-4 family residential real estate (including construction) and home equity and improvement loans are subject to adverse employment conditions in the local economy which could increase default rate on loans.
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets, Servicing of Financial Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Servicing Rights
	Servicing rights are recognized separately when they are acquired through sales of loans. Servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value with the income statement effect recorded in gains on sales of loans. Fair value is based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts, when available, or alternatively, is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as the cost to service, the discount rate, the custodial earnings rate, an inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds and default rates and losses. The Company compares the valuation model inputs and results to published industry data in order to validate the model results and assumptions. All classes of servicing assets are subsequently measured using the amortization method which requires servicing rights to be amortized into non-interest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans, driven, generally, by changes in market interest rates.
	Servicing assets are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to carrying amount. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights into groupings based on predominant risk characteristics, such as interest rate, loan type and investor type. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual grouping, to the extent that fair value is less than the carrying amount. If the Company later determines that all or a portion of the impairment no longer exists for a particular grouping, a reduction of the allowance may be recorded as an increase to income. Changes in valuation allowances are reported with mortgage banking income on the income statement. The fair values of servicing rights are subject to significant fluctuations as a result of changes in estimated and actual prepayment speeds and default rates and losses.
	Servicing fee income, which is reported on the income statement with mortgage banking income, is recorded for fees earned for servicing loans. The fees are based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal, or a fixed amount per loan, and are recorded as income when earned. The amortization of mortgage servicing rights is netted against loan servicing fee income. Servicing fees totaled $3.6 million, $3.6 million and $3.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. Late fees and ancillary fees related to loan servicing are not material. See Note 8.
Bank Owned Life Insurance [Policy Text Block]	Bank Owned Life Insurance
	The Company has purchased life insurance policies for certain key employees. Bank owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Premises and Equipment and Long Lived Assets
	Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization computed principally by the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
	Buildings and improvements	20 to 50 years
	Furniture, fixtures and equipment	3 to 15 years
	Long-lived assets to be held and those to be disposed of and certain intangibles are periodically evaluated for impairment. See Note 9.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Goodwill and Other Intangibles
	Goodwill resulting from business combinations prior to January 1, 2009 represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill resulting from business combinations after January 1, 2009, is generally determined as the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but tested for impairment at least annually. The Company has selected November 30 as the date to perform the annual impairment test. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. Goodwill is the only intangible asset with an indefinite life on First Defiance’s balance sheet.
	Other intangible assets consist of core deposit and acquired customer relationship intangible assets arising from whole bank, insurance and branch acquisitions. They are initially recorded at fair value and then amortized on an accelerated basis over their estimated lives, which range from five years for non-compete agreements to 10 to 20 years for core deposit and customer relationship intangibles. See Note 10.
Real Estate Held for Development and Sale, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Real Estate and Other Assets Held for Sale
	Other assets held for sale are comprised of properties acquired through foreclosure proceedings or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. These assets are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. Losses arising from the acquisition of such property are charged against the allowance for loan losses at the time of acquisition. These properties are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated costs to dispose. If fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure, the property is written down against expense. Costs after acquisition are expensed.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]	Stock Compensation Plans
	Compensation cost is recognized for stock options and restricted share awards issued to employees and directors, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. A Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options. Restricted shares awards are valued at the market value of Company stock at the date of the grant. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. See Note 20.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in Note 22. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets, Transfers of Financial Assets, Sales, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Transfers of Financial Assets
	Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Company, the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets and the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.
Loans and Leases Receivable, Mortgage Banking Activities, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Mortgage Banking Derivatives
	Commitments to fund mortgage loans (interest rate locks) to be sold into the secondary market and forward commitments for the future delivery of these mortgage loans are accounted for as free standing derivatives. Fair values of these mortgage derivatives are estimated based on changes in mortgage interest rates from the date the interest on the loan is locked. The Company enters into forward commitments for the future delivery of mortgage loans when interest rate locks are entered into, in order to hedge the change in interest rates resulting from its commitments to fund the loans. Changes in fair values of these derivatives are included in mortgage banking income.
Segment Reporting, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Operating Segments
	Management considers the following factors in determining the need to disclose separate operating segments: (1) The nature of products and services, which are all financial in nature; (2) The type and class of customer for the products and services; in First Defiance’s case retail customers for retail bank and insurance products and commercial customers for commercial loan, deposit, life, health and property and casualty insurance needs; (3) The methods used to distribute products or provide services; such services are delivered through banking and insurance offices and through bank and insurance customer contact representatives. Retail and commercial customers are frequently targets for both banking and insurance products; (4) The nature of the regulatory environment; both banking and insurance entities are subject to various regulatory bodies and a number of specific regulations.
	Quantitative thresholds as stated in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, Segment Reporting are monitored. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the reported revenue for First Insurance was 9.1% of total revenue for First Defiance. Total revenue includes net interest income (before provision for loan losses) plus non-interest income. Net income for First Insurance for the year ended December 31, 2014 was 4.2% of consolidated net income. Total assets of First Insurance at December 31, 2014 were 0.6% of total assets. First Insurance does not meet any of the quantitative thresholds of FASB ASC Topic 280. Accordingly, all of the financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable segment.
Dividend Restriction [Policy Text Block]	Dividend Restriction
	Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by the savings bank to the holding company. See Note 17 for further details on restrictions.
Loan Commitments, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments
	Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.
Malpractice Loss Contingency, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Loss Contingencies
	Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there are any such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Income Taxes
	Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of a sufficient level of future taxable income and recoverable taxes paid in prior years. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will be realized.
	An effective tax rate of 35% is used to determine after-tax components of other comprehensive income (loss) included in the statements of stockholders’ equity. See Note 18.
	A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.
	The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.
Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, Pensions, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Retirement Plans
	Pension expense is the net of service and interest cost, return on plan assets and amortization of gains and losses not immediately recognized. Employee 401(k) plan expense is the amount of matching contributions. Deferred compensation and supplemental retirement plan expense allocates the benefits over years of service.
Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Reclassifications
	Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Accounting Standards Updates
	In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-01, "Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects." ASU 2014-01 applies to all reporting entities that invest in qualified affordable housing projects through limited liability entities. The pronouncement permits reporting entities to make an accounting policy election to account for these investments using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions exist. The pronouncement also requires disclosure that enables users of its financial statements to understand the nature of these investments. Under the proportional amortization method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit). The pronouncement should be applied retrospectively for all periods presented, effective for annual periods and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2014-01 in January 2014 and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had $4.6 million in qualified investments recorded in other assets, $3.0 million in unfunded commitments recorded in other liabilities and $117,000 of tax credits (benefit) recorded in federal income taxes.
	In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, “Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure.” The objective of the amendments in ASU 2014-04 to Topic 310, “Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors,” is to reduce diversity by clarifying when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. An entity can elect to adopt the amendments using either a modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
	In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, "Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period." The amendments in the ASU require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. The performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period. The total amount of compensation cost recognized during and after the requisite service period should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately vest. The requisite service period ends when the employee can cease rendering service and still be eligible to vest in the award if the performance target is achieved. The amendments in this ASU are effective for interim or annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015; early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in this ASU either: (1) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date; or (2) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-12 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
