The Hamburg Exchanges - Separate Entities Under One Roof

The Hamburg Exchange stands for a wide range of varied markets associated under one name organised on the basis of the stock market principle for the purpose of trading. In this sense, the Hamburg Exchange Internet platform serves as a source and hub of trade information. One part of the Hamburg Exchange comprises the five individual Hamburg exchange institutions, that is the Allgemeine Börse (general exchange), the Stock Exchange, the Insurance Exchange, the Grain Exchange and the Coffee Exchange.

Trading is carried out according to the general rules and regulations of the Hamburg Exchange as well as the rules and regulations of the individual trade exchanges. In its function as the legally responsible body of the Hamburg Exchange the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce is a member of the exchange commission in charge of coordinating superordinate stock exchange matters. One of the exchange commission's primary tasks, beyond acting as a platform for the exchange of information and settlement of differing interests arising among the individual exchanges, is the development of future-oriented projects geared towards strengthening Hamburg as an exchange marketplace. The information exchanges of the Hamburg Exchange, currently 11 in number, are also united under the umbrella organisation of the Hamburg Exchange. The virtual offers of these information exchanges bring together supply and demand markets for the purpose of doing business and making commitments.
