history

Burckhard Finck (1768–1848) founded the company Finck & Schäfer in Vilbel in 1790 with the resident Peter Schäfer , a wholesaler and retailer for spirits, oil, soap and colonial goods . Cider, vinegar and brandy were also made. He was married to a niece of his business partner.

Wilhelm Finck (1810–1883) was a merchant and became mayor of Vilbels in 1859.

Wilhelm von Finck (1848–1924) was a banker and co-founder of the Allianz insurance company , the Munich reinsurance company and other companies.

August von Finck senior (1898–1980) was a banker. He was one of Adolf Hitler's supporters at the secret meeting of February 20, 1933, among others . In 1938 his bank Merck Finck & Co acquired the Jewish bank SM v. Take over Rothschild .

August von Finck junior (* 1930) works in the real estate sector, among other things with great influence in the Munich region. He moved to Switzerland in 1999. Like the sociologist Andreas Kemper in 2012 , the Adenauer Foundation suspected in 2013 that he was supporting the AfD financially: "... it is quite likely that Finck will not let the AfD's election campaign fail due to financial obstacles"

Helmut von Finck (* 1959) leads a legal dispute against his half-brother over the inheritance.
