Berenberg Bank

1590 - Firmengründung in Hamburg

1590, als Hans und Paul (II) Berenberg ihre Firma gründeten, lebten etwa 1.000 Niederländer in Hamburg. Die Stadt erlebte einen wirtschaftlichen Aufschwung, der maßgeblich von diesen Refugianten getragen wurde. Neben Handwerkern waren es vor allem in Handel und Finanzierung erfahrene Kaufleute.

Die Brüder Berenberg, die Tuchhandel und allgemeine Im- und Exportgeschäfte betrieben, waren offenbar strebsam und erfolgreich. 1594 finden sich ihre Namen in der Sammlungsliste der Niederländischen Armencasse, einer noch heute bestehenden Institution zur Unterstützung in Not geratener Schicksalsgenossen. Anfang des 17. Jahrhunderts waren von den 42 Firmen, die Umsätze über 100.000 Mark verzeichneten, 32 niederländischen Ursprungs. Die Brüder Berenberg standen an fünfzehnter und sechzehnter Stelle.

Anfangs waren die Niederländer in Hamburg noch gewissen Beschränkungen unterworfen. So war es Ausländern verboten, innerhalb der Stadtgrenzen mit anderen Ausländern Geschäfte zu tätigen. Viele Niederländer wurden daraufhin Bürger der Stadt, wozu Hans und Paul (II) Berenberg sich jedoch nicht entschließen konnten. 1604 erließ der Rat dann ein liberaleres Mandat, das Ausländern nun den freien Handel mit neuen Luxusgütern erlaubte, mit rheinischen Weinen etwa, ungarischem Kupfer, Indigo, Elefantenzähnen oder Gewürzen. Kurze Zeit später wurden die ausländischen Händler den Hamburger Bürgern sogar gleichgestellt – Hamburg betrieb eine recht pragmatische Politik.

The Reformation and the way to the Elbe

The history of the Berenberg can be up to the late 15thTraced back centuries. The family originally came from the hilly countryside. On the farm wholesale Berenberg 1465 Thillmann Berenberg, was born. Even him know that he has acted with cloths. His son, Jan went first to the nearby Cologne, took the early 16th Century, but continued to Lier, situated on the outskirts of Antwerp. Already in 1515 he acquired there as "Thill Mans de zon Coelenaere" citizenship. Antwerp offered the ideal trading conditions. By 1550 it was the largest and busiest city in Europe, up to 500 ships sank here every day and weighed their anchors. There was a time of great discoveries, and thus the economic reorientation of Europe to the west -. And there was also an era of bloody religious clashes in 1585, the Dutch Protestants, given the choice, either to the Catholic faith or to leave the country, and how thousands of their fellow Muslims took advantage of the Protestant Berenbergs to find a new home. They found her in Hamburg.
