History of the Inventory Designer: Deutsche Länderbank AG in Berlin emerged in 1922 from Kolonialbank AG, Berlin, which was founded on 30 December 1909 and 14 January 1910 respectively. In the Articles of Association of Deutsche Länderbank AG of 1933, § 2 describes the object of the company as follows: "...is the conduct of banking and commercial business of any kind and the direct or indirect participation in companies of the same or a related kind and their acquisition".1 Deutsche Länderbank AG belongs to the bank type "house bank" or "group and administrative bank". These are those banking institutions that restrict all or most of their business operations to a specific group, a specific large enterprise or the members of a specific group. Unless they are newly established for financing purposes, they develop from existing banks and often serve simultaneously as holding banks for the management of group holdings and for the control of affiliated companies. The principal or group banks do not represent a uniform type of specialist bank. Various companies of this type are merely banking departments which have become independent and whose main task is to make rational use of the available operating resources and to procure short-term and long-term loans for the companies they serve. Until 1945, Deutsche Länderbank AG acted as the in-house and group bank of the IG Farben Group. Inventory description: Inventory history The Deutsche Länderbank AG inventory, together with other bank and group holdings, was transferred from the former USSR to the former Deutsche Zentralarchiv Potsdam in 1957-1961. The total circumference is 54 running metres. Archival processing Immediately after the transfer of the holdings from the former USSR, processing began. All files were provisionally recorded on index cards. At a later date (approx. 1969/70), the holdings were evaluated and documents were sorted out for cassation. These were materials from the fields of general administration and accounting which have no historical value. The classification of the stock was essentially established on the basis of the already existing order. The order of the documents within the file volumes was maintained. All series and tape sequences were created as archives.
