GREENPEACE CLIMBERS AT THE TOWERS OF THE 'DEUTSCHE BANK', FRANKFURT / MAIN - NEWS ACCESS

Frankfurt/Main, 16. 3. 2009 - Greenpeace activists drape a giant banner from a Deutsche Bank AG tower in Frankfurt calling for more development and climate protection funds.
'If the world were a bank, it would been saved long ago,' reads the yellow banner on one of the bank's two glass towers, around 140 meters above the heart of Germany's financial center in Frankfurt.
The Deutsche Bank's towers symbolize all the German banks that have received billions in financial support from the government. For example property lending specialist Hypo Real Estate Holding AG has received EUR 102 billion in loan guarantees.
The banner was hung to call for more financial commitment by the government to international climate protection. Greenpeace proposes that the climate crisis and the economic crisis can be solved together.
