Later they moved into the most elegant house in Carlstadt , at Carlsplatz 984, which was built by Elector Karl Theodor . In 1852 he bought the house at Hofgartenstrasse 12 , which Adolf von Vagedes had built for Karl von Pritzelwitz , where he continued the business.

His son Christian Gottfried Trinkaus , born in 1843, joined his father's business in 1864. He later moved the bank, which today bears the name HSBC Trinkaus , to building next door 12b.
