history

History of the Deutsche Girozentrale

German municipal bond for 5,000 marks dated December 31, 1922, issued by the German Central Giro Association and the German Giro Central.

Ten years after Johann Christian Eberle had introduced the giro transactions with the savings banks and several regional banks associations were founded, was as the central institution of the German Girozentrale (DGZ) opened on 1 February 1918 as a legally dependent bank institution of the German Central Bank Association in Berlin. The capital of 15 million Reichsmarks was made available by the regional giro associations in solidarity for the central association. The DGZ took on a variety of tasks right from the start of business. It took care of cashless payment transactions (giro traffic) and made sure that money was settled between the regional giro centers. Her tasks also included granting short-term loans to the member associations of the German Central Giro Association (from 1924 Deutscher Sparkassen- und Giroverband ) and other German municipal associations , and accepting interest-bearing money from them, buying and selling bills of exchange and taking out loans. In 1919, the DGZ was recognized as an economically independent, public bank and received approval to operate long-term municipal business and issue municipal bonds. Therefore, in 1921 the company name was expanded to include "Deutsche Kommunalbank". With the reorganization of the municipal banking system, the DGZ became legally independent in 1931 and was given its own statute for the first time in 1932. The German Savings Banks and Giro Association remained the unrestricted holder of liability. The organs of the bank were the general assembly , the administrative board and the board of directors. At the same time, supervision of the DGZ passed from the Prussian Ministry of the Interior to the Reich government. The municipal credit ban of 1931 changed the business concept. The management of the liquidity reserves increased after 1931.

The National Socialists instrumentalized the public-law banking house after 1933 in order to be able to meet the steadily growing financial needs for armament and warfare. After the occupation of Berlin by the Allies , the bank located in the Soviet sector was shut down in 1945. In 1949 it was reactivated in Düsseldorf, albeit limited to short-term business. It was not until 1954 that Deutsche Girozentrale resumed full business operations, a year later it opened a branch in Berlin (West), and in 1965 the head office was relocated to Frankfurt am Main. The DGZ strengthened its syndicated business through its traditional tasks in the money, securities and lending business . Commitment to municipal loans and the housing finance sector was also intensified.

History of Deka Deutsche Kapitalanlagegesellschaft mbH

On August 17, 1956, Deka Deutsche Kapitalanlagegesellschaft mbH was founded with its headquarters in Düsseldorf . With her, the cornerstone for all current investment activities under the umbrella of the Deka Group was laid. The first investment fund - DekaFonds (WKN 847450) - was launched on November 26, 1956 with an investment volume of 8 million DM. In February 1962 the first international fund, the AriDeka (WKN 847451) with European stocks and fixed-income securities, was launched . In 1965 the company moved to Frankfurt am Main. The founding of the Deutsche Sparkassen-Immobilien-Anlage-Gesellschaft mbH (Despa) in 1966 reflects the growing interest in open -ended real estate funds; In 1967 it launched DespaFonds (WKN 980950), its first open-ended real estate fund, which was merged with the real estate fund Deka-ImmobilienEuropa (WKN 980956) in 2009 . In 1968, Deka Deutsche Kapitalanlagegesellschaft entered the bond fund business with the launch of the RenditDeka (WKN 847453) . In 1978, DekaSpezial (WKN 847466) was the first Deka equity fund to invest worldwide . In 1988 Deka International SA was founded as the first foreign subsidiary based in Luxembourg; In 1995, Deka (Swiss) Privatbank AG (founded as Deka Bank (Schweiz) AG), based in Zurich, followed . DekaBank GmbH was founded in 1996 as the Deka Group's management holding company. On January 1, 1999, it merged with Deutsche Girozentrale -Deutsche Kommunalbank- to form DGZ-DekaBank Deutsche Kommunalbank, which was renamed DekaBank Deutsche Girozentrale in 2002.

Social Commitment

As a member of the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe, Deka participates in funding projects under the leadership of the German Savings Banks and Giro Association and supports its own projects with a regional connection to the company's headquarters in Frankfurt am Main.

The fight against cancer, a widespread disease in Germany , has been part of DekaBank's social commitment since 1996 . In annual nationwide charity golf competitions, the bank, as general sponsor, and the German Golf Association have so far provided the German Cancer Aid Foundation and the German Children's Cancer Aid Foundation with around 8.2 million euros in donations. In 2017 alone, the 36th nationwide “Europe's largest benefit golf tournament series” with around 7,500 active participants, including a special donation from the general sponsor, raised over 300,000 euros for the charitable aid organizations. CEO Gerd Nettekoven acknowledged that Germany's golfers were "among the reliable supporters of cancer aid in order to realize important projects in the interests of all citizens."

DekaBank is also a member of the following associations and interest groups:
