Hermann J. Merkens

Aareal Bank

Hermann J. Merkens, born in 1966, is probably what you would call an old hand. The current Chairman of the Management Board of Aareal Bank has been in business since 1985, when he was still with Deutsche Bank. After a short stopover at Deutsche Interhotel Holding, he found his way to Aareal Bank as early as 1999 and joined the Management Board there in 2003. He has also been Chairman of the Management Board there for around four years.
