history

On October 1st, 1852, the 24-year-old Hermann Lampe founded the company as a banking and freight forwarding business in Minden . As early as the end of the 19th century, stock corporations were founded , bonds were placed and first contacts abroad were made. Lampe had a fatal accident in 1877. The bank was then taken over by his employee Carl Siebe and his cousin Wilhelm Wegener. Their sons Wilhelm Siebe and Karl Wegener took over the company in 1917.

In July 1949, the company's conversion took place from the previous legal form of open trading company into a limited partnership . At the same time, Hugo Ratzmann moved from Bankhaus Hardy & Co. to Bankhaus Lampe as a personally liable partner and sole managing director. When the Bielefeld entrepreneur Rudolf-August Oetker brought in 8.4 million Deutschmarks, he became the majority shareholder . Further shareholders were the Bielefeld company CA Delius & Söhne, founded by Carl Albrecht Delius in 1887, and Hamelin Reese GmbH .

On May 9, 1951, the bank moved into the building on the Alter Markt in Bielefeld . At the same time, the company's headquarters were relocated to Bielefeld, while a branch in Minden was retained for the time being. After Ratzmann died in an accident in 1960, Carl Melien became the sole personally liable partner for one year and then Horst Herold from 1961. After the Deutsche Bundesbank saw the bank as part of the Oetker Group and requested Oetker to participate in the management, Herold left the company at the end of 1963 because, according to the bank, he no longer saw its "independence".

On January 1, 1964, the previous limited partner Rudolf-August Oetker became a general partner . Hans Heuer and Rudolf von Ribbentrop were appointed managing directors. At that time, 200 employees worked at four locations. In the following two decades the number of employees rose to more than 370 people.

In 1968 the Erich Sältz bank was taken over and transformed into the Hamburg branch. In 1972 von Ribbentrop became managing director of the bank.
