history

The first place of business of the credit institute Coppel & Söhne, founded in 1834, was Calenberger Strasse on the corner diagonally across from the confluence with Bäckerstrasse. Similar to other private banks owned by Jewish families after the amendment to the law in 1842, the Coppels' bank also left Calenberger Neustadt and settled in Ernst-August-Stadt around 1854 , initially at Reitwallstraße 18 at the time . This Coppel property was initially rented in parts to members of the von Linsingen and von Witte families ; Chamberlain Adolf Friedrich Graf von Linsingen and Colonel a. D. Theodor von Witte. The location was the corner house, which had been built on the right-hand side of Reitwallstrasse after the confluence with Rosenstrasse coming from the main station and had the address Schillerstrasse 22 from 1860 after the partial renaming of the street after October 10, 1859 . Only after the increased development of the Schillerstraße with further buildings did the Coppel & Söhne bank finally get the address Schillerstraße 28 .

In 1870 the bank was only one of two institutions in Germany in which the interest on the ordinary and priority shares of the Hanover-Altenbekener Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft could be raised against the delivery of the coupons.

In the year the empire was founded in 1871, the address book, city and business manual of the royal residence city of Hanover and the city of Linden at Schillerstraße 28 listed the bankers Simon Coppel as owners with the addition "vid. Rosenstrasse 5 ”, as well as the banker Carl Coppel and Colonel Conrad Ernst Albrecht Giesewell as tenants. In the following year 1872 the dividends for shares of the Continental-Caoutchouc- and Gutta-Percha Compagnie as well as those of the mining company Neu-Essen in Essen as well as the local Pluto could be redeemed in the Hanoverian bank.

After the Provinzial-Wechslerbank was founded by the parent company Berliner Wechslerbank , it had already acquired the Hanover company J. Coppel & Sons in early 1872. With the owner and rentier Simon Coppel, the Hanoverian address book from 1874 only recorded the bank building as the seat of the Provinzial-Wechslerbank, and in the following year 1875 as the property of the Vereinsbank .
