The name Rothschild first emerged from the obscurity
of the Frankfurt back streets over 200 years ago.

It quickly became a synonym for quality and excellence, whether in the field of financial services, wine, science, fine art or architecture. Across two centuries and many generations, the Rothschild emphases have remained unchanged - on innovation, industriousness and above all on.

"The strength which lies in unity"

The five Rothschild brothers set out from their Frankfurt home in the early 19th century.

From modest beginnings, the five brothers founded banking houses, in Frankfurt, London, Paris, Vienna and Naples. They achieved renown as the most important - and most successful - bankers in the world.

"Five brothers, Five arrows"

Rothschild ventures have become the thing of legend: the funding of Wellington's armies, the Gold Rush, the Suez Canal, the arrival of the railways and the quest for oil.
