== History of BHF Bank==
The bank was formed on 1 January 1970 as the '''Berliner Handels- und Frankfurter Bank''' from the merger of the Frankfurter Bank (founded in 1854) and the Berliner Handels-Gesellschaft (founded in 1856).<ref>{{Cite book|title = Handbook on the History of European Banks|url = https://books.google.com/books?id=eXvfNDHpfWwC|publisher = Edward Elgar Publishing|date = 1994-01-01|isbn = 9781781954218|first1 = Manfred|last1 = Pohl|first2 = Sabine|last2 = Freitag|first3 = European Association for Banking|last3 = History}}</ref> In 1970, when the [[BHF-Bank]] tower was built by the German architect [[Sep Ruf]], it was the highest building in Frankfurt. The banks changed its name to BHF-Bank in 1975. Through the 1970s and 1980s it was in the top three to five investment banks in [[West Germany]] and had a top position in the foreign exchange market. The bank had extensive industrial holdings. Its former senior partner, Hanns Schroeder-Hohenwarth, became the President of the [[Bundesverband deutscher Banken|German Banks Association]] from 1983 to 1987.


In 1987, Philippe Oddo became the managing partner.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.lopinion.fr/edition/economie/philippe-oddo-banque-oddo-cie-il-y-a-beaucoup-plus-d-argent-en-112376|title=Philippe Oddo (Banque Oddo et Cie): "Il y a beaucoup plus d'argent en Allemagne qu'en France, et il y reste"|last=de Barochez|first=Luc|date=18 October 2016|work=L'Opinion|language=french}}</ref> In 1988, insurer [[AGF (company)|AGF]] became a minority shareholder.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://lemonde-emploi.blog.lemonde.fr/2012/04/11/philippe-oddo-dans-le-monde-economie-si-on-pousse-les-francais-fortunes-a-sinstaller-a-letranger-leurs-capitaux-ne-seront-plus-geres-chez-nous/|title=Philippe Oddo dans " Le Monde Economie ": " Si on pousse les Français fortunés à s'installer à l'étranger, leurs capitaux ne seront plus gérés chez nous "|last=Poirier|first=Jérôme|date=11 April 2012|work=[[Le Monde]]|language=French}}</ref> In 1991, Oddo & Cie opened Oddo DV, its subsidiary in Madrid.

In 2004 ING BHF-Bank was split. The majority of the bank's business operations, offices and equity shareholdings were integrated into the newly founded BHF-BANK Aktiengesellschaft, which was then acquired by the private bank Sal. Oppenheim as its sole shareholder. When Sal. Oppenheim was taken over by Deutsche Bank in 2010, BHF-BANK, which has always operated on a stand-alone basis, was put up for sale.
