Bankaktiengesellschaft" was created in 1921 from the conversion of the private bank "ML Biedermann & Comp.", Founded by Michael Lazar Biedermann in 1808, into a stock corporation . The driving force behind this transformation was Joseph Schumpeter , who knew how to win over domestic and foreign shareholders for the new bank limited company. At that time, the founding Biedermann family had nothing to do with the bank.
