The Notensteins

The Notensteiner by Rolf Kellenberg offers an in-depth analysis of the history of the private bank Wegelin & Co. and its transformation into Notenstein Bank. The author examines the origins of the bank, which date back to the 15th century, and explains the significance of the name Notenstein, which is associated with a historical merchant association. Kellenberg describes the bank's development over the centuries, including its expansion in the 1990s and the challenges it had to overcome in the course of the tax dispute with the American judiciary. This specialized book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of banking in Switzerland and the evolution of financial institutions.
