Deutsche Bank Place

Deutsche Bank Place is a 240 m (790 ft) skyscraper in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It is located at 126 Phillip Street (corner of Hunter Street) in the north-eastern end of the central business district, across the road from Chifley Tower. Construction began in 2002 and was completed in 2005. The building's architect is Norman Foster of Foster and Partners. Deutsche Bank is the primary tenant, occupying 7 floors and owning the naming rights.

The building has 39 floors and was planned to be much larger, however it would have blocked sunlight from reaching the buildings on its east including the State Library and Parliament. The setback roof or step design allows sunlight to reach the south-eastern side of the building. The spires appear oversized for the building; this was caused by the height being reduced, the spires being proportionate to a taller building. The building has a hollow core that provides air and light throughout the building; this core rises from a large foyer area that covers the whole area of the ground floor. The foyer is named 'the assembly'.

Deutsch-Asiatische Bank

Deutsch-Asiatische Bank (DAB) (simplified Chinese: 德华银行; traditional Chinese: 德華銀行; pinyin: Déhuá Yínháng) was a foreign bank in China. Its principal activity was trade financing; but together with English and French banks, it also played a role in the underwriting of bonds for the Chinese government and in the financing of railway construction in China.

History

Deutsche-Asiatische Bank was founded in Shanghai in 1889 with the participation of Deutsche Bank, one of the largest banks in Germany. It set up branches in Calcutta (1895),Tianjin (1890),Hankou (1897),Tsingtao (1897), Hong Kong (1900),Yokohama (1905),Kobe (1906),Singapore (1906),Peking (1910),Canton (1910) and Tsinan (1914).

In 1906, it received the concession to issue its own banknotes in China. During First World War and the Second World War, its branch network and business activities were destroyed. In 1953, it launched a new beginning in Hamburg. Together with partner banks within the EBIC group, Deutsche Bank subsequently founded "Europäisch-Asiatische Bank" in 1972 (later renamed "European Asian Bank"), which the former Deutsch-Asiatische Bank was merged into. In 1986, the bank was called "Deutsche Bank (Asia)" after the partner banks withdrew from their participations. Between 1987 and 1988, it was then merged into Deutsche Bank.
