Bankhaus Metzler

Finance & History

Founded in 1674, Bankhaus Metzler is one of the oldest continuously family owned financial businesses in the world. This longstanding independence gave the bank and its customers many opportunities to make money. The bank proved the soundness of its business during several difficult periods in history, like the German hyperinflation after the Great War. The following period of National socialist rule in Germany (1933-1945), was undoubtedly one of the more difficult chapters of the bank's history.

Andrea Schneider Braunberger (GUG) wrote a book about the bank's business during that time. With uncensored access to newly available primary archival sources, she took a very close look. Here she talks to Carmen Hofmann (eabh) about the challenges and opportunities for businesses to confront a potentially difficult past.
