Berenberg Bank traces its origins back to 1590, when brothers Hans and Paul Berenberg founded their company in Hamburg. This makes Berenberg Germany's oldest bank, and one of the oldest in the world.

With a balance sheet total of EUR 3.7 billion, assets under management of more than EUR 24 billion, liable funds of EUR 212 million and a workforce of over 900 personnel, Berenberg is one of Germany's leading private banks. Now well into the fifth century of its business existence, Berenberg today is a modern and dynamic private bank with a clear strategic positioning.
