LGT Private Banking, the international private bank owned by the Princely Family of Liechtenstein, is further strengthening its presence in Germany with the launch of an experienced private banking team at the headquarters of its German branch in Munich from the beginning of 2026. The move marks the next step in LGT’s successful expansion in Germany since entering the market in 2022 and sees it further grow its position in the German market.
Starting on 1 January 2026, an experienced team of 12 private banking professionals will begin operations at LGT in Munich. Munich is one of the most important centres for private banking in Germany. "With our new team, we are further expanding our presence in one of Germany’s key financial and economic regions. Our colleagues bring many years of private banking experience, are firmly rooted and well connected in the Munich region, and have extensive expertise in serving sophisticated clients," says Florian Dürselen, member of the Executive Board of LGT Bank. The Munich office will be headed by Matthias Böhmer and Maurice Friedemann.
As a private bank managed by an entrepreneurial family, LGT brings a unique perspective to wealth management. With its long-standing experience in managing the assets of the Princely Family of Liechtenstein, it specialises in catering to the needs of families and entrepreneurs – expertise from which clients in Munich will now also benefit. Alongside traditional investment advice and portfolio management, LGT in Munich will offer comprehensive services in the areas of wealth planning, international real estate financing, impact investments and alternative investments such as private equity and private debt.
LGT has had a presence on the German market with its own locations again since October 2022 and has expanded rapidly. Starting with one location in Hamburg with 15 employees, LGT has grown within three years to around 80 employees across five locations: Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Cologne, Frankfurt and now Munich. LGT is now represented in all of Germany’s key private banking centres. "Our solid growth demonstrates that we have positioned ourselves correctly with our teams and that our focus and offering are resonating strongly with our clients", says Florian Dürselen. LGT’s performance has also been recognised externally: in the latest PWM study, it was named the best wealth manager in the northern region and ranked first in Hamburg.
"With the launch of our private banking team in Munich, we have reached an important milestone", says Andreas Loretz, Market Head Austria/Germany at LGT Bank. "We have achieved what we set out to do in Germany: build strong teams in all key regions with a deep knowledge of our clients and a proven track record in serving them successfully. Our goal now is to strengthen our existing locations and continue to grow in the years ahead."
