Berenberg is the second oldest bank in the world and can trace its roots back to 1590 when the brothers Hans and Paul Berenberg established their firm in Hamburg. Today, Berenberg has a strong presence in the financial centers of Frankfurt, London and New York and is managed by personally liable partners Henrik Riehmer, David Mortlock and Christian Kuehn. With assets under management of 44,8 billion and 1,700 employees in 15 locations in Germany, Europe and the USA, Berenberg proves that it is a modern and dynamic bank with a clear strategic positioning.
Berenberg has supported numerous initiatives throughout its long history. Cultural diversity and a rich intellectual life are vital for a vibrant city, but they require qualified and talented newcomers. This is why our owners founded the Berenberg Bank Foundation of 1990 on the occasion of the Bank’s 400th anniversary. Supporting young and gifted artists is at the heart of what the foundation does. The Berenberg Kids Foundation was started in 2007 as an initiative by the Berenberg employees and focusses on supporting social institutions and organizations like schools, primarily in England and Germany.
