BiographyDavid Splitgerber. (-) Son of David Splitgerber (1683/5-1764). Banker in Splitgerber & Daum of Berlin. Life with James Boswell:
Boswell met Splitgerber (refered to as young Splitgerber) in Berlin on July 6, 1764. He described him as "a good bluff dog [who] has been three years in London." He spent the rest of the day in his company, and was "firm and gay and sound as ever".
History of the banking house Splitgerber und Daum: The banking house was founded in 1712 by David Splitgerber (1683-1764) and Gottfried Adolph Daum (1679-1743). Later on, Splitgerber's son-in-law , J. J. Schickler, became a partner in the company. By 1795 the company was owned by Schickler's two sons, David (1755-1818) and Johann Ernst (1762-1801), and it changed its name to Gebrüder Schickler. In 1910 the bank, then named Gebrüder Schickler & Co. merged with Delbrück Leo & Co, and became known as Bankhaus Delbrück Schickler & Co. In 1968 the company became known as just Delbrück & Co, and in 2002 it became a part of ABN AMRO.
