Company history

1585 to 1979

Frankfurt/Main develops into an important regional commercial centre very early on. In 1585, a number of merchants decide to standardise exchange rates for the many different currencies used on German territory. The first step towards the establishment of a stock exchange has been taken.

For detailed information, read more about the history of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

1980 to 1989

Mikhail Gorbachev’s concept of “perestroika” plays a key role in the downfall of Communism in the USSR and the opening of Eastern Europe. Rapid progress in technology enables closer and faster communication over great distances. With the help of technological innovations, Deutsche Börse prepares for these global changes.

1986

The consortium of German stock exchanges (Arbeitsgemeinschaft der deutschen Wertpapierbörsen) is founded mid-year.

1990 to 1999

Germany, after having consisted of two countries with differing political systems for decades, is reunified. In the 1990s, the worldwide stock exchange industry enjoys years of economic boom: “new economy” and “e-commerce” begin to shape the stock exchange landscape from 1995 onwards. Four years later, twelve EU countries introduce a single currency – albeit as book money at first. Thus, Deutsche Börse converts all price quotations and its systems to the euro at the beginning of 1999.

1992


November	The Frankfurt Stock Exchange introduces the exchange order service system BOSS, an order routing system to support floor trading. BOSS enables banks and securities trading firms to forward securities orders electronically “from the bank to the exchange” – prior to this, orders could only be transferred via open outcry.
