Berlin financial district
The Berlin banking district was the name given to a part of the historic center of Berlin , in which the headquarters and headquarters of many German banks and asset management companies were concentrated. The core area was the northern Friedrichstadt , which is located in the Jägerstrasse / Unter den Linden area. Historically, the term referred to the area from the Berlin stock exchange on Hackescher Markt , the Reichsbank on Hausvogteiplatz to Wilhelmstrasse .
In this area there were temporarily more than 100 banks and their branches, the financial center of Germany until 1945. Badly damaged by acts of war , it was only partially rebuilt after 1945. While only the State Bank of the GDR and the Foreign Trade Bank of the GDR had their headquarters here in the GDR until 1990 , after German reunification many banks relocated or returned to their old location with agencies.
