“The Role of Warburg Bank in Mathias Döpfner’s Springer Shareholder Entry”

Mathias Döpfner owes his rise to become the most important co-owner of the Springer Group to a now notorious banker, as research by Stern now shows. Accordingly, Döpfner procured the capital for his first major entry into Springer as a shareholder in the summer of 2006 from Christian Olearius, at the time a partner and co-owner of the more than 200-year-old Hamburg private bank MM Warburg & Co. Ironically, from that banker and that bank, the ten years later came under heavy pressure because of illegal tax tricks in stock transactions and should use every help.
