History
editFürst Fugger Privatbank was founded when Friedrich Carl Fürst Fugger-Babenhausen acquired the small bank Friedl & Dumler GmbH in 1954. However, the bank only received its current name in 1994.[1] Since 1999, Fürst Fugger Privatbank has been majority owned by the Nürnberger Versicherungsgruppe insurance company, although prince Hubertus Fugger-Babenhausen still holds a stake. He also owns the Fuggerhäuser in Augsburg, where the bank has its main seat.
