Germany’s central bank, the Deutsche Bundesbank (German Federal Bank), holds the world’s second largest official gold reserves, with claimed holdings of 3381 tonnes, stored over four locations. Of all central bank gold holders, the Bundesbank has probably generated the most interest and attention over the past few years due to its substantial and long drawn out repatriation of a large amount of its gold from storage sites in New York and Paris to storage at its own headquarters in Frankfurt, Germany.
