Deutsche Bank Shares
Deutsche Bank was founded in Berlin in 1870. The opening of branches in Bremen and Hamburg, Frankfurt am Main, Munich, Leipzig and Dresden followed in quick succession. In 1873 the first European foreign branch was opened in London.
The first acquisitions were carried out in 1876 through buying the Berliner Bank-Verein and Deutsche Union-Bank. The abnk expanded further in Germany through the acquisition of other regional insitutions until the 1920’s. Since 1880 Deutsche Bank starts its industrial sponsoring and investment activities with investments in North and South America, Eastern Asia, and Turkey.
A merger of Deutsche Bank with Disconto-Gesellschaft in 1929 brought the biggest ever merger in German banking history till then.
