This book tells a story in pictures that could hardly be more colourful, diverse or replete with historical detail. It concerns the rise of Deutsche Bank from the times of the German Empire up to our era of globalization; it ist about financial transactions that influenced the course of history, and about daring enterprises throughout th world. Above all, though, it is about the destinies of people who worked for the company, and about their everyday lives. These pictures refelct not only the evolution of a big bank, but also one and a half centuries of economic and Social history.

Deutsche Bank engaged in international business from the outset. This book traces the most significant stages of Deutsche Bank's presence in Turkey, a story that could hardly be more colourful: the building of the legendary railway line from the Bosporus to the Persian Gulf; the opening of Deutsche's Istanbul branch in 1909; its sequestration and reopening after the First World War; the branch's final closure and liquidation in the aftermath of the Second World War; the opening of a representative office in 1954 and the development of the present Deutsche Bank A.S. and other Deutsche Bank entities.
