Dank der wachsenden Bedeutung von Handel und Verkehr steigt Mannheim im 19. Jahrhundert zum führenden Wirtschaftszentrum Badens auf. Die Handelskammer beschließt daher 1862 die Gründung einer Produktenbörse. Gehandelt werden Holz, Tabak und vor allem landwirtschaftliche Produkte wie Getreide. Gut vier Jahrzehnte hat die Börse kein eigenes Versammlungslokal. 1903 bezieht die Effekten- und Produktenbörse in E 4 ihr neues, im Stil des Neobarock errichtetes Gebäude, dessen repräsentatives Außeres die nationale Bedeutung der Institution widerspiegelt. 1991 gründet die überregional tätige Mannheimer Produktenbörse mit der Stuttgarter Warenbörse, unter Beibehaltung ihrer Selbstständigkeit, in Mannheim die Südwestdeutsche Warenbörsen e.V. als gemeinsame Trägerorganisation. Das Gebäude, das im 2. Weltkrieg teilweise zerstört und etwas vereinfacht wieder hergerichtet wird, gehört seit 1938 der Stadt. Von 1949 bis 1985 haben verschiedene städtische Dienststellen hier ihren Sitz. Seit 1987 steht es nach entsprechenden Umbauten der städtischen Musikschule zur Verfügung. © Stadtarchiv Mannheim Institut Für Stadtgeschichte

Thanks to the growing importance of trade and transport, Mannheim rose to become Baden's leading economic centre in the 19th century. The Chamber of Commerce therefore decided to establish a commodity exchange in 1862. Wood, tobacco and, above all, agricultural products such as grain were traded. For a good four decades, the exchange did not have its own meeting place. In 1903, the securities and commodity exchange moved into its new building in E 4, built in the neo-baroque style, whose representative exterior reflected the national importance of the institution. In 1991, the Mannheim commodity exchange, which operates nationwide, founded the Southwest German Commodity Exchange e.V. in Mannheim as a joint sponsoring organisation with the Stuttgart commodity
