German Stock Exchange

Commercial merchants in Germany got together for the first time in 1585 to agree on standardized rates of exchange. Today, this event is considered as the birth of the most important stock exchange in Germany - the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Thanks to the Xetra trading platform, it has become one of the largest completely electronic cash market exchanges in the world.
