Place of origin: Hanover

The brothers Wolf and Isaak Stern set up a private bank in 1862. Their father Hirsch Oppenheimer was already a banker and economic advisor to the King of Hanover. At that time, the banking business was located at Fahrgasse 1. In 1901, on the occasion of the move to Frankfurter Strasse 25, all the craftsmen involved were listed by name. This shows that the family is initially not only talented in their business, but was also socially minded: They honor with the naming their employees.

The bank exists from 1927, at that time it can be found at the address of Bankhaus I. Benjamin (Steinheimer Straße 20) and belongs to Meier H. and Victor Kaiser. The latter dies in 1932 at the age of 42. Presumably, the bank still exists until 1935.

Founded in 1923 by Berthold Rosenzweig and Jakob Katz, the bank is located at Steinheimer Strasse 31. During the economic crisis, it goes bankrupt.

The banking house is founded in 1870, the owner and banker Lißmann Fürth then takes over the banking house Maron & Cie (founded before 1867), which is located at Marktplatz 2. In 1878, an address book entry is listed under his own name (Fürth), Lißmann is the owner. Michael, as well as Moses Fürth are involved in the management, but also run a bristle store together. This, as well as the bank, is now located at Fahrgasse 14. Later, the banking business moves to Krämerstrasse 12.

Founded in 1890 by Marcus Bacharach, it is then located at Krämerstraße 8. In the 1920s, it is located at Römerstraße 9, "opposite Hotel Adler", an obviously renowned hotel. The business is unusual because Marcus Bacharach's wife Amalie née Herzberg has power of attorney. The bank must be abandoned due to the lack of a successor with the death of Marcus Bacharach.

The bank is founded in 1835 by Hirsch Benjamin and is addressed at the time in Hanauer Judengasse 78. In 1855, son Israel takes over and moves to Salzgasse 909. At the latest in 1867, his son Michael works with them and they move to Steinheimer Strasse 20. In 1876, Joseph Oppenheim takes over, in 1886 Karl Oppenheimer and later Hermann Oppenheim(er). Before 1917 they move to Römerstraße. In the same year, the company joins the Mitteldeutsche Creditbank. Hermann Oppenheim(er) manages the branch.

Founded in 1873, it is then the "5th bank house in hiesiger Stadt" and can be found at Paradeplatz 235 and belongs to the merchant Siegmund Marx. The bank is closed in 1883, presumably because of the lack of a successor.

The bank was founded in 1846, was then located at Salzgasse 850, later at Marktplatz 8, and belonged to Abraham Sonneberg and his son-in-law Max Hochstädter. The latter is described as always benevolent. Unusually, his wife, Anna Hochstädter, was granted procuration. When Max Hochstädters died in 1903, the bank had to be abandoned due to the lack of a successor.

The banking house is founded before 1837, can be found at that time at Paradeplatz 860 (today: Freiheitsplatz) and belongs to Nathan Sondheimer, son of an important rabbi. He pursues, similar to his father, only part-time, intensive studies of Judaism and is considered a benefactor in Hanau. With Nathan Sondheimer's death in 1862, the bank is probably abandoned. Son Moses Tobia is co-founder of a metal company in 1872.
