In her new function, Knopek will succeed Dirk Große Wördemann, who will be leaving the bank with effect from 31 May 2013 at his own request, and by amicable and mutual consent in order to step up his activities in the Real Estate Investments sector again, a sector in which he was already active before joining the Wiesbaden-based property specialist.
