Sal. Oppenheim dedicates 175th Oppenheim-Union-Race to the historical archive of the City of Cologne
13.06.2010 | Cologne: Not only is the Oppenheim-Union-Race marking its 175th anniversary at the Cologne-Weidenpesch track, the city itself also has reason to celebrate. The private bank Sal. Oppenheim jr. & Cie. is dedicating the traditional horse race to the historical archive of the City of Cologne and donating €50,000 towards the reconstruction of the institution's building, which collapsed in March 2009. Cologne mayor Jürgen Roters is to present the symbolic cheque along with Wilhelm von Haller, Chairman of the Executive Board of Sal. Oppenheim, to Burkhard von der Mühlen, Chairman of the Verein der Freunde des Historischen Archivs der Stadt Köln e. V. and to Dr. Bettina Schmidt-Czaia, director of the historical archive of the City of Cologne.

Since the company‘s founding in 1789, the Cologne private bankers of Sal. Oppenheim have always been a motor for progress. Innovation and tradition - they have always succeeded in combining the two.

The establishment of a “commission and exchange house” in Bonn by the 17-year-old merchant Salomon Oppenheim jr. was the first milestone in the company’s 200 year-long history.
