Deutsche Bundesbank, Central bank in Frankfurt, Germany
The Deutsche Bundesbank is the central bank of the Federal Republic of Germany, located on Wilhelm-Epstein-Strasse in Frankfurt am Main. It directs the country's monetary policy and works closely with the Eurosystem, while nine regional headquarters coordinate operations across the nation.
The Bundesbank was established in 1957 from the Bank deutscher Länder to secure independent monetary policy after the war. It played a central role in introducing the euro and transferred key powers to the European Central Bank in 1999.
The Money Museum on the campus displays coins and banknotes from different periods and explains the role of currency in daily transactions. Guided tours and workshops help visitors understand how the monetary system works in everyday life.
The main building sits in the Ginnheim district of Frankfurt and is well connected by public transport. The museum offers barrier-free access and is open on weekdays for registered visitor groups.
The bank holds over three thousand tons of gold in its vaults and at other locations worldwide, including more than fifteen hundred tons in New York. This treasure ranks among the largest national gold reserves anywhere.
