Böhmische Industriebank
The Böhmische Industriebank (Czech: Česká průmyslová banka, lit. 'Czech Industrial Bank') was a bank based in Prague, founded in 1898. By 1914, it was among the three largest banks in the Czech lands.[1]
Overview
[edit]The bank's creation in 1898 was supported by the Czech National Economic Society (Czech: Česká společnost národohospodářská), with the aim of providing better credit conditions for industrial development in the country. It took over several local banks in the early 1920s. In 1943, it was forcibly merged into Živnostenská Banka under orders from the German occupation authorities.[2]
