Thomas Wegscheider (bank manager)

Thomas Wegscheider (born February 27, 1933 in Berlin ) is a German bank manager.

Thomas Wegscheider put 1952 in Braunschweig , the High School , and then studied law up to the second state examination. He was also active as a player at Eintracht Braunschweig . On July 15, 1963, he joined the union's own Frankfurter Bank für Gemeinwirtschaft (BfG) as a clerk . After he had managed the legal safeguarding of Hugo Stinnes' investments , he soon rose to become an authorized signatory and board member. In June 1977, when Walter Hesselbach retired from management, he and Diether Hoffmann became spokespersons for the bank's board of directors, where he was responsible for investments and the domestic lending business. After the affair around Neue Heimat, Hoffmann moved to become its chairman of the board. On November 23, 1983 Wegscheider became chairman of the board of the BfG. As a fan of the Kickers Offenbach , Wegscheider took care of loans. He tied the BfG too closely into the expansion plans of the co-op boss Bernd Otto and canceled the credit line too late. At the end of 1986, 50 percent plus one share in BfG was sold to Aachener und Münchener Beteiligungs AG (AMB). When its chairman, Helmut Gies , wanted to reduce the workforce, Wegscheider came under pressure from all sides. At the beginning of 1990 he chose Paul Wieandt as his successor . With Hesselbach he was appointed executor of Jacques Rosenstein , who died in 1979, and reorganized his group of companies.
