1. Badische Bank O 4, 4 Marker
Das ehemalige Adelspalais, das sowohl 1902 wie 1974-1976 umgebaut wird, dient als Geschäftsgebäude der Badischen Bank. Deren Errichtung als Notenbank für das Großherzogtum Baden geht in das Jahr 1870 zurück. Die badische Regierung will mit einer eigenen Bank die Abhängigkeit vom Frankfurter Geldverkehr abmildern. Als Sitz des neuen Geldinstituts wird bewusst Mannheim als wichtigstes wirtschaftliches Zentrum des Staates gewählt. Aufgrund der mit der Reichsgründung von 1871 einhergehenden Vereinheitlichung des Notenbankwesens verliert das Institut nach und nach sein Kerngeschäft und wandelt sich zu einer Geschäftsbank. Die Badische Bank verlegt 1932 ihren Hauptsitz nach Karlsruhe, 1977 wandert die Zentrale infolge der Fusion zur Baden-Württembergischen Bank nach Stuttgart ab. © Stadtarchiv Mannheim Institut Für Stadtgeschichte

The former noble palace, which was rebuilt in 1902 and 1974-1976, serves as the Badische Bank's office building. Its establishment as a central bank for the Grand Duchy of Baden dates back to 1870. The Baden government wants to reduce its dependence on Frankfurt's financial transactions with its own bank. Mannheim was deliberately chosen as the headquarters of the new financial institution as the state's most important economic center. Due to the standardization of the central banking system that accompanied the founding of the Reich in 1871, the institute gradually lost its core business and transformed into a commercial bank. The Badische Bank moved its headquarters to Karlsruhe in 1932, and in 1977 the headquarters moved to Stuttgart as a result of the merger with the Baden-Württembergische Bank.
