For a bank that, according to its statutes, had set itself the goal of "promoting and facilitating trade relations between Germany, other European countries and overseas markets", it was of essence to quickly establish a presence in Bremen. At that time, the Hanseatic city was one of the hubs for overseas trade, and a large part of German foreign trade ran through its port. It is hence no surprise that the Bremen branch concentrated on foreign business. Business operations began with two directors and eight employees: two "cashiers", a "correspondent", three accountants, an apprentice and a domestic servant. In 1891, the Bremen branch moved into its representative office building at the Domshof, which is still in use today.
In 1914, the main branch opened its first three city branches, then called Depositenkassen. In 1921, a branch office followed in Geestemünde in what is now the city of Bremerhaven.
After the Second World War, Bremen served as the headquarters of "Disconto Bank" from 1947 to 1952, one of the ten sub-institutes of Deutsche Bank, which the Allies had temporarily dismantled.
Disconto-Gesellschaft, Berlin, took over Bankhaus J. Schultze & Wolde, Bremen, which was founded in 1794. After the merger with Deutsche Bank on October 29, 1929, the Disconto-Gesellschaft branch in Bremen was merged with the Bremen branch of Deutsche Bank.
