The opening ceremony of LLB in Germany took place at the imposing Alte Oper in Frankfurt am Main on 28 May 2024. The historic setting of the opera house, built between 1873 and 1880, provided the perfect backdrop to celebrate the tradition and excellence embodied by LLB.
A total of 120 guests celebrated the official opening in Frankfurt together with colleagues from Germany; Gabriel Brenna, Group CEO; Urs Müller, Head of Retail & Corporate Banking; Martin Heutschi, Head of Private Banking Liechtenstein; and many more. The evening included interesting presentations by renowned experts. Prof. Dr. Hans-Werner Sinn, former President of the ifo Institute and Professor Emeritus at LMU Munich, spoke on the “Orgy of borrowing, inflation, and weak growth”. Dr. Christian Waigel, lawyer and Honorary Consul of the Principality of Liechtenstein, answered the question “Why Liechtenstein? – from a German perspective”.
“The opening of our banking locations in Germany against the magnificent backdrop of the Alte Oper marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for LLB. I could hardly imagine a better setting for this occasion. Not only are LLB and the opera connected by the address – Am Opernplatz; both institutions can look back on a long tradition and are an impressive example of how tradition and innovation can be combined successfully."
Gabriel Brenna, Group CEO
LLB in Germany
Frankfurt is one of three new locations that the LLB opened at the beginning of 2024. At the new locations in Munich, Frankfurt and Düsseldorf, we offer German clients first-class investment advice and asset management with a total of around 40 employees. LLBʼs first-time expansion into Germany supports the growth ambitions we have set as part of our ACT-26 strategy.
“Many colleagues have done a tremendous job laying the groundwork over the past year. It was therefore a special pleasure for us to honour this work and to celebrate the start of another chapter in the history of LLB at this wonderful location – the Alte Oper. I am grateful for the opportunity to take on this mission. As a banker, itʼs not often the case that you can shape a bankʼs first market entry together with such a strong team. I very much appreciate the trust that has been placed in us, and it feels incredibly good to be part of the LLB team."
Thomas Henk, Manager Branch Office Germany
