Former Bankhaus W. Gumpert & Sohn (Brandenburg)

Between 1817 and 1897, the bank was owned and managed by the Jewish Gumpert family. Louis Gumpert, an important player in Brandenburg who was committed to the common good, later Kommerzienrat and honorary citizen of the city, took over the business from 1857.

Today it is home to the Café Kaffekännchen Brandenburg.

Louis Gumpert came from a Jewish family,  which had already been resident in Brandenburg for some time. The banking house existed since 1817 and was founded by father Wolf Gumpert. From 1846 Louis Gumpert joined his father's banking business as an authorized signatory. In 1880, his sons Paul and Richard Gumpert entered the banking business. Paul then continued to run the banking business from Berlin. After the war, the banking business had to be downsized due to non-remunerative trading in war bonds, which led to the abandonment of the Brandenburg branch. Finally, the assets of Paul Gumpert's son Fritz were completely lost due to Nazi measures.
