history

Stumbling block for Jessy Mayer in Salzstraße 24

The company was founded in 1879 by the Jewish businessman Elias Mayer (1851–1923) from Müllheim in Freiburg im Breisgau as a commission business. In 1922 the youngest son Jessy Mayer took over the bank. He devoted himself, especially under the increasingly difficult conditions in the time of National Socialism, to financing transport and transit businesses. Jessy Mayer (* 1894) had good relations with the Reich Ministry of Economics, but he was arrested in October 1936, then released again, but subject to heavy financial fines. On November 5, 1938, he fled via Switzerland to Belgium, where he committed suicide on April 5, 1939. His mother had died in Freiburg in March 1939, after which the authorities confiscated all of the family's assets, and the bank was liquidated by October 1940.

In December 1952, the bank was revived by family members under its old name, and in December 1954 banking operations were resumed. In 1957 the family withdrew completely from the bank, which had been run in the legal form of a retail salesman since September 1963 , and as a stock corporation since 1978 . Today it is the only private bank in Freiburg and the surrounding area.

From its founding until 1960, the company was based in the "Haus zum Ehrstein" at Salzstrasse 24 in Freiburg, and since then at the Friedrichsring.
