The Vienna Chapter held its summer luncheon on Friday July 10, 2009, at the St. Johann’s Club. Originally it was planned that Heinz Hilgert, Chairman of Westdeutsche Landesbank, would join us and give an overview on the German banking landscape. Due to Heinz’s unexpected resignation in early June, Manfred Kunert offered to speak  about the Austrian banking situation instead.

Manfred, who recently retired from the management board of Österreichische Volksbanken AG, gave us a very interesting and sobering view on banking in general and his concern about the continuing lack of trust amongst bankers.

The following alumni attended: Richard Belcredi, Helmut Breit, Armin Dallmann, Gerhard Eisenburger, Wolfgang Fenkart-Fröschl, Fischi, Ossi von Goertz, Alexander Götzinger, Erhard F. Grossnigg, Günter Korp, Manfred Kunert, Norbert Lill, Maria Lippburger, Volker Pesta, Heinz R. Ratka, Wilhelm Rosenfeld and Jens Weidenbruch.
