Bavarian State Bank

The Bavarian State Bank AG was a Bavarian bank . It was taken over in 1971 by Bayerische Vereinsbank AG .

history

The bank was founded in 1780 by Margrave Alexander von Brandenburg-Ansbach as "Hochfürstlich-Brandenburg-Anspach-Bayreuthische Hofbanco" in Ansbach . As part of the integration of the Hohenzollern Margraviate into the Kingdom of Prussia , it operated from 1792 as the “Royal Prussian Banco in Franconia”. In 1806 the bank became Bavarian together with the Principality of Ansbach , the new name was "Königlich Baierische Banco". In the following year, 1807, the bank's headquarters were relocated to Nuremberg in the building of the former Heilsbronner Hof on Lorenzer Platz (today the building is home to the so-called Ministry of Home Affairs, a branch of the Bavarian State Ministry of Finance, for Regional Development and Homeland ). The name “Königliche Bank Nürnberg” became established. A branch office of the royal Nuremberg bank in Würzburg was approved by the Bavarian king in 1846. Until 1871 the business area was limited to the Franconian parts of the country and the Palatinate . In 1875, the bank founded a branch in Munich, the Königliche Filialbank. With the end of the monarchy in Bavaria, the bank was named Bayerische Staatsbank in 1918. In 1935 the Bavarian Central Bank was merged with the Bavarian State Bank. The former company archive of the Bayerische Staatsbank is located in the Bavarian Economic Archive .

The Bayerische Staatsbank building in Nuremberg is considered to be one of the most high-quality buildings of the post-war period. Architect Sep Ruf succeeded in creating a modern design that blended into the surroundings. It is a modern sandstone building in which a representative entrance staircase was not dispensed with in 1951.
