The special exhibition "GOLD. Treasures at the Deutsche Bundesbank" can be experienced here as a digital version on screen or with 3D glasses.

Video clips without commentary on the Bundesbank, gold reserves, cash and the ECB. This footage is also available in high definition.

Bundesbank’s external position stood at €807 billion at the end of June 2025, with claims from the TARGET2 payment system worth €1051 billion making up around 71 % of total assets. These are followed by international reserves, comprising gold and foreign exchange reserves, including the special drawing rights allocated by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which account for a total of 20 % of assets. At 84 %, issuance of euro cash accounted for the bulk of liabilities. Deposits of non-euro area residents amount to 8 % of foreign liabilities.

In its function as Germany's central bank, the Bundesbank answers enquiries concerning historical German currencies and calculates long-term purchasing power equivalents.

Changing jobs in the midst of a pandemic is challenging, especially if the new post is abroad. Jens Reich, Marie-Therese Gold, Michael Schardt and Alexander Lieber now work for the Bundesbank overseas. 

In November 2024, around 80 experts from over 40 countries met in Frankfurt for the second gold conference. The event provided a valuable platform for the exchange of knowledge and experience on issues relating to the management and handling of gold reserves.

Thanks to our digital presence, you can explore the museum even outside of its opening hours.

Germany’s net international investment position (i.i.p.) rose by €564 billion in 2024. The three-dimensional account system analyses changes in the net i.i.p. from different perspectives.

The new banknotes retain the basic features of the first banknote series with regard to the motifs and main colours depicted in the stylised windows, gateways and bridges, showing architectural styles from different periods of European history.
