FWB Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse (Frankfurt Stock Exchange), is one of the world's largest trading centers for securities. With a share in turnover of around 90 percent, it is the largest of the eight German stock exchanges. Deutsche Börse AG operates the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
Deutsche Börse is owner of Clearstream.
In 2001, Deutsche Börse tried to merge with the London Stock Exchange, followed in 2006 by a takeover bid, both rejected by LSE. In 2006, after CEO Werner Seifert was forced in 2005 by the main shareholders to resign, Deutsche Börse changed plans and entered into advanced negotiations for a merger with Euronext which would have brought two of the biggest stock exchanges in Europe into one holding. The New York Stock Exchange beat out Deutsche Börse's final bid in 2006.
