The bank Anton Hafner KG (colloquially Banking Anton Hafner or Hafner Bank Augsburg is called) a private bank in the legal form of a limited partnership with headquarters in Augsburg . The bank is mainly active in the regional market and has one branch each in Dinkelscherben and Zusmarshausen .

Company history

founding

Shortly after the outbreak of World War I , the private banking business was founded on November 17, 1914 by Anton Hafner (* 1881 in Dinkelscherben; † 1950). At the age of 13, he learned the basics of business in Augsburg at what was then the Stahlmann'sche Handelsschule and completed his banking apprenticeship in one of the city's 30 private banks. With a start-up capital of 30,000 marks, he opened the banking business at the age of 33.

After the war, Anton Hafner acquired the property in the central location of Augsburg. Bankhaus Hafner opened a branch in Zusmarshausen as early as 1920, originally in a room next to the Hotel Krone. Today the bank has its own premises on the market square.

Currency reform, chaos of war and a new beginning

Almost all private banks based in Augsburg fell victim to the ups and downs of the 1920s and 1930s. However, after the forced dissolution of the Augsburg Stock Exchange in 1934, the Hafner Bank was able to acquire membership of the Munich Stock Exchange and thus conduct its lively securities business at low cost. The bank is still a member there today.

After the currency reform in 1948 , the bank was only able to show equity of 24,539.90 DM. The following economic boom contributed to the independence of the institute. The issue of people's shares , such as the VW share in 1961 and the VEBA share in 1965, brought the bank a great boom in this branch of business. Far beyond Augsburg, the bank has earned a particularly good reputation in trading gold and silver coins .

The next generation

After the company's founder died in 1950, his sons Hans and Anton took over the bank and continued to run it as a general partnership . In 1966 another branch was opened in Dinkelscherben.

While Hans Hafner was responsible for internal issues, the younger brother Anton Hafner mainly maintained contact with customers and took care of the expansion of the branches. Both worked in the bank well into old age. In 1979 the founder's grandson, Anton Hafner, joined the bank as co-owner and managing director. Today he continues the tradition of the house and is responsible for the operative business. In mid-2018, the successor to Clemens Beißer, who is retiring, Dr. Wolfgang Illig ordered.

With the brothers Christian and Thomas Hafner, as further co-owners and managing directors, the succession and continuation of the bank is also secured in the fourth generation.

In March 2011, the bank, which had previously been run in the legal form of a general partnership, was converted into a limited partnership with Mr. Anton Hafner as the personally liable partner.

Products

The basis of the alignment is formed by the deposit and securities business and, to a manageable extent, the lending business with private and corporate customers.
