Joachim Berenberg-Consbruch

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.

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.

He has two sons, Fabian and John.
