history

On November 6, 1817 was Johannes Rosing (1793-1862) in the Weekly News Bremer the opening of its Comptoirs in the long road no. 103 known. His field of activity was the export of linen . When the brother of his wife Elisabeth, Carl Ferdinand Plump, became Rösing's partner in 1828, this marked the birth of Rösing & Plump , the origin of today's banking house Carl F. Plump & CO. The Plump family from Bremen had a stake in the bank from 1828 to 1900 and between 1955 and 1991 when the bank was founded.

A sharp decline in linen exports around 1830 was followed by a rebalancing of the areas of activity of Rösing & Plump. In 1839 there was an entry in the Bremen address book: "Linnenhandlung und Wechselgeschäft". From then on, Rösing & Plump concentrated increasingly on the banking industry. There were bank connections to Rothschild in Paris and Frankfurt am Main . Rösing & Plump developed into a commercial bank with discounted goods and bills of exchange. After Johannes Rösing left the company in 1839, the company concentrated exclusively on changing business. Loans to the city of Bremen and investments in large companies were important tasks. In 1857 the bank was among the first shareholders in the founded North German Lloyd . In 1872 she was a co-founder of the Bremen Cotton Exchange .

After the Second World War, cotton was an urgently needed raw material, so the bank began to import cotton again. Foreign trade was an entrepreneurial focus. After the currency reform, lending to small and medium-sized companies and also private customer business became increasingly important.

In 1953 Friedrich Roggemann resigned and Carl Eduard Meyer died. Her sons Ernst-Gerhard Roggemann and Kurt Meyer took over the management. In 1953, the Carl F. Plump & Co. banking house became a universal bank. For the first time, limited partners who did not come from Bremen were accepted: the private banks Delbrück , Münchmeyer and Sal. Oppenheim held their shares until 1974.

Between 1974 and 1991 the Sparkasse Bremen held up to 100% of the shares in the bank.

Recent past

In 1999, the private bank MMWarburg & CO (AG & Co.) KGaA from Hamburg took over 51 percent of the shares. Between 2008 and 2016 Christian Plump was a member of the bank's supervisory board and participated in the restructuring of Carl F. Plump & CO as a representative of the eponymous family. The bank had a representative office in Oldenburg between 2008 and October 2017 . Since 2011, the bank has been wholly owned by MMWarburg & CO (AG & Co.) KGaA. On December 29, 2011, the Carl F. Plump & CO bank was converted into a stock corporation. In 2016, the Carl F. Plump & CO bank merged with the parent company. Since then, it has operated as a branch of MMWarburg & CO.

The company's core competencies are cross-generational investment advice and asset management for wealthy private individuals, families and entrepreneurs as well as financial planning. It is also active in foundation management and advises corporate clients across generations.

Bank building

The bank is located in the Am Markt 19 building on Bremen's market square . The five-story commercial building was built in 1960 according to plans by the architect Gerhard Müller-Menckens . The sculptor Renate Albers modeled the coat of arms stones above the door lintel.

The adjoining five-storey red stone-faced commercial building at Am Markt 18 was built as an Eduscho house from 1952/53 according to plans by the architect Arthur Bothe . Both buildings were placed under protection as a Bremen monument in 1973 and have since been included in the list of cultural monuments in Bremen-Mitte .
