The Amsterdamsche Bank was a significant bank in the Netherlands, founded in 1871.[1] In 1964, it merged with Rotterdamsche Bank to form AMRO Bank (for AMsterdamsche & ROtterdamsche).[2]

Overview

Amsterdamsche Bank was established on Шаблон:Date by a group of mainly German investors led by the Bank für Handel und Industrie (Darmstadt), in the context of German financial expansion following its victory of the Franco-Prussian War. It expanded rapidly from its base in Amsterdam to other cities in the Netherlands. In 1948 it took over Шаблон:Ill (est. 1891),[3] which it fully absorbed in 1956.[1]

Its elegant art nouveau head office building on Herengracht 597–601, designed by Eduard Cuypers and completed in 1897, was demolished in 1966. A subsequent Шаблон:Ill on Rembrandtplein, designed by Bert Johan Ouëndag and completed in 1932, is a notable art deco landmark of Amsterdam.[4]
