Deutsche Hypothekenbank
History
Founded in 1872 by Berlin merchants, the Deutsche Hypo is one of the oldest German mortgage lenders. It specializes in advising and financing real estate projects predominantly in Germany, Great Britain, France, Benelux and Poland. Furthermore, the Deutsche Hypo is active in the public sector lending business.
In 1999, ING Group acquired majority control of Deutsche Hypothekenbank through its purchase of BHF Bank. It sold its 83.7 percent stake in 2006 to BHF Bank (by then owned by Sal. Oppenheim) and M. M. Warburg & Co. as well as private investors Peter Döhle Schiffahrts-KG and Josef H. Boquoi Familienstiftung.

Another pillar of its business activities is the capital market business with domestic and foreign market participants. The refinancing takes place via bonds. Both the Deutsche Hypo's mortgage and public sector bonds are rated "Baa2" (lower medium grade) by Moody's rating agency.
