history
Berliner Bank was founded on June 21, 1950 in what was then West Berlin on the initiative of the then Lord Mayor of West Berlin Ernst Reuter . The primary task of the Berliner Bank was to promote the reconstruction of Berlin's economy. Expansion beyond the city limits followed.
In 1994 the Berliner Bank AG, the Berliner Hypotheken- und Pfandbriefbank and the Landesbank Berlin jointly founded the Bankgesellschaft Berlin AG, which was majority owned by the State of Berlin.
As of January 1, 1999, Berliner Bank AG was completely transferred to Bankgesellschaft Berlin AG, but was retained as an independent brand. After the Berlin banking scandal in 2001, Bankgesellschaft Berlin AG passed a restructuring program in December that prevented bankruptcy with extensive help from the State of Berlin.
Finally, on July 1, 2003, Berliner Bank became a branch of Landesbank Berlin. At the beginning of 2006 this changed its corporate form through the law on the Berliner Sparkasse and the conversion of Landesbank Berlin into a stock corporation. The Berliner Bank thus became the branch of Landesbank Berlin AG .
A resolution by the European Union determined the sale of Berliner Bank by the end of 2006. The bid went to Deutsche Bank in mid-June 2006 for around 680 million euros . On October 1, 2006, Berliner Bank AG & Co. KG was spun off as an independent company from Landesbank Berlin AG. At the beginning of 2007 it became part of the Deutsche Bank Group. As of July 1, 2010, Berliner Bank will operate as Berliner Bank, a branch of Deutsche Bank Private and Business Customers Aktiengesellschaft . The company's own brand identity was initially retained. Bank code 100 200 00 (new: 100 708 48) and business identifier code BEBE DEBB (new: DEUT DEDB 110) were already dissolved on July 1, 2010 when Berliner Bank was originally incorporated as a branch of Deutsche Bank.
In November 2015, the parent company Deutsche Bank announced that it would give up the Berliner Bank brand by the end of 2017. On July 17, 2016, DB published a list of the branches to be closed.
The Berliner Bank brand was given up on November 7, 2016, the website was switched off and the branches were gradually converted to the Deutsche Bank brand or closed. Berliner Bank customers kept their banking products, which now run under the Deutsche Bank brand.
Headquarters in Hardenbergstrasse
The headquarters of the Berliner Bank was at Hardenbergstrasse 32 in Berlin-Charlottenburg . In addition to the headquarters of the management, the building also housed sales support departments and private banking. The house was built in 1951 by the architect Gerhard Siegmann , who had previously won first prize in an architecture competition.
