Company history
Until the end of 2003, DFH belonged to the Frankfurt-based collecting company Divaco , in which, in addition to the main shareholder Metro AG (49%), Deutsche Bank (39%) and the insurance group Gerling (12%) also held shares. Since it was founded in 1998, Divaco had held trading activities and holdings that Metro AG wanted to sell because they were not part of the trading group's core business. With retroactive effect to December 31, 2003, Metro AG sold its stake in the heavily indebted Divaco for a symbolic euro to its CFO Siegfried Kaske (sole shareholder and sole director of Divaco). Until this management buy-out , DFH was one of the Divaco holdings that had not yet been realized.
The former Metro subsidiary DFH Eigenheimbank AG , Saarbrücken, which initially handled the financing and insurance services for the four sales lines of the DFH Group, was initially converted to DFH Eigenheimbank GmbH on December 19, 2003 , and then completely by General Motors at the beginning of 2004 - financial services subsidiary GMAC financial Services through its German subsidiary GMAC-RFC Germany GmbH acquired (General Motors Acceptance Corporation Residential Funding Corporation) and GMAC-RFC Bank GmbH renamed (now headquartered in Wiesbaden ).
