Hans-Joachim von Berenberg-Consbruch , born Hans-Joachim von Consbruch (born November 5, 1940 in Vienna ) is a German banker and patron in Hamburg .

He is the son of the businessman Hans-Dietrich Wilhelm Consbruch and Irmgard Else (called Irmela) Meyer. At the time of his birth in Austria, the family only called themselves “Consbruch” without “von” because of the Nobility Repeal Act . He later called himself Joachim von Consbruch in Germany until 1976. After the death of his father in Vienna in 1941, his mother married the banker Johann Heinrich Cornelius Hellmuth von Berenberg-Gossler in their second marriage in 1949 . August 10, 1976, the name change to "von Berenberg-Consbruch" was approved in Hamburg; thereby he combined his family name Consbruch with the name of the Hanseatic family Berenberg . He is not himself a descendant of the Berenberg family.
