Degussa is well known for its high quality gold bars. The companies' history dates back to 1843, when Friedrich Ernst Roessler leased a newly built precious metals refinery from the Senate of the Free City of Frankfurt. In 1872, the Roessler family began negotiating with the metal trading firm of Philipp Abraham Cohen (which would later become Metallgesellschaft KG) and Bank für Handel und Industrie (later merged into Dresdner Bank) to incorporate the gold and silver refinery into a public limited company. Therefore Deutsche Gold-und Silber-Scheideanstalt vormals Roessler was established in 1873.
