History of the Inventory Designer: Foundation of the Berliner Handelsgesellschaft (BHG) in 1856 as the first pure securities bank in Prussia. It had belonged to the leading group of major Berlin banks since 1880. In the period that followed until 1933, the bank was strongly influenced by Carl Fürstenberg as managing director. The foundations of BHG were the international bond business, railway financing and banking business with industry. BHG had a special position in the German banking industry because it had neither branches nor depositary banks and was an issuing bank which conducted the 'regular' banking business only to the extent necessary to enable its customers (industrialists, group owners, provincial bankers and only a few private individuals) to obtain continuous credit. After 1945 the head office was moved to Frankfurt am Main. In 1970 the bank merged with Frankfurter Bank to form Berliner Handels- und Frankfurter Bank (BHF-Bank).
