Flick Gocke Schaumburg advises LBBW on realignment of commercial real estate finance

Flick Gocke Schaumburg has advised Landesbank Baden-Württemberg AöR (LBBW) on the tax aspects of LBBW’s successfully completed realignment in commercial real estate finance.

Following LBBW’s acquisition of Berlin Hyp in summer 2022, regulatory and legal incorporation marks a key milestone in the integration process. With effect from August 1, 2025, all activities in this sector are now combined under the Berlin Hyp brand. The new real estate finance provider operates as an organizationally independent entity within LBBW.

With a commercial real estate portfolio of around EUR 63 billion, a leading European provider has come into being under the Berlin Hyp brand.

Under the integration, all activities of the real estate finance business have been transferred to the new entity under the Berlin Hyp brand.

By way of a spin-off, LBBW took on virtually all assets, liabilities and legal relationships of Berlin Hyp AG with effect from August 1, 2025 under civil law. Berlin Hyp’s central and service functions have also been transferred to LBBW. <<<
