IN 1820, SALOMON MAYER von ROTHSCHILD ESTABLISHED THE FIRST BANK IN VIENNA, CAPITAL OF THE AUSTRIAN EMPIRE. THE KREDITANSTALT (FULL NAME TRANSLATION: IMPERIAL ROYAL PRIVILEGED AUSTRIAN CREDIT INSTITUTE FOR COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY) WAS FOUNDED IN 1855 BY ROTHSCHILD'S SON, ANSELM. IT SOON BECAME THE LARGEST BANK IN AUSTRIA-HUNGARY AND BOHEMIA. AT THE ONSET OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION, THE GREAT KREDITANSTALT OF VIENNA COLLAPSED IN MAY 1931. ITS BANKRUPTCY PROVIDED HITLER AND THE NAZIS TO FURTHER BLAME THE JEWS FOR ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL TROUBLES. AFTER WWII IT BACAME A NATIONALIZED COMMERCIAL BANK, AND AFTER A FEW CHANGES AND MERGERS, 153 YEARS AFTER IT’S FOUNDING, THE NAME KREDITANSTALT DISAPPEARED COMPLETELY. THE ISSUING COMPANY OF THIS MEDAL WAS BRÜDER SCHNEIDER OF VIENNA. THEY WERE KNOWN FOR HIGH QUALITY MILITARY AND COMMEMORATIVE MEDALS AND PLAQUES. IRONICALLY, AFTER THE GERMAN ANSCHLUSS, THE COMPANY PRODUCED MEDALS AND BADGES FOR THE GERMAN MILITARY, WHICH IS WHAT THEY ARE MOST KNOWN FOR TODAY. AUSTRIAN SCULPTOR AND MEDALIST LUDWIG HUJER (1872-1968) WAS BORN IN WILHELMSHÖHE. DURING HIS CAREER HE WORKED IN AUSTRIA, FRANCE AND ENGLAND, AS WELL AS IN GERMANY. 51mm x 80mm131.2 GRAMS USA shipping is per item.
