Banque Hottinger et Cie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Banque Hottinger et Cie, or Hottinger & Cie Bank is a bank based in Switzerland. As early as 1362 the Hottinger name was linked to the political, commercial, economic, cultural and religious development of Zurich. Hans, Heinrich and Rudolf were appointed burghers of this city in 1401. By the end of the 18th century their successors had made banking their principal activity. Hans Konrad Hottinger left Zurich for Paris, where in 1786 he founded the bank that still bears his name. After almost two centuries of successful banking in Paris, the Hottinger family returned to Zurich in 1968. With the founding of Hottinger & Cie the descendants of the former burghers of the city firmly re-established themselves in their country of origin.
