Hans-Joachim von Berenberg-Consbruch (born 5 November 1940 in Vienna), known as Hans-Joachim Consbruch from 1940 to 1976, is a German banker, who served as a personally liable partner at Berenberg Bank from 1978 to 2005. He has also been a board member of the Berenberg Bank Foundation, a philanthropic foundation. He is the honorary consul of Monaco in Hamburg.[1]
Although he has worked for Berenberg Bank his entire career, he is not himself descended from the Berenberg family. He is the son of Hans-Dietrich Wilhelm Consbruch and Irmgard Else Meyer. After his father died in 1941, his mother was married in her second marriage from 1949 to Cornelius Johann Heinrich Hellmuth von Berenberg-Gossler, a member of the prominent Berenberg-Gossler banking family. He was known as Hans-Joachim Consbruch until 1976, when he obtained permission from Hamburg authorities to change his name to "von Berenberg-Consbruch," thus combining his family name Consbruch with the first part of his stepfather's name, the name of the Berenberg family, which is extinct in the male line.[2]
He has two sons, Fabian and John.
