Deutsche Bank est une banque universelle allemande, offrant une large gamme de services financiers aux particuliers, entreprises et institutions, opérant à l'échelle mondiale.

Une analyse approfondie d'une obligation émise par Deutsche Bank révèle que ce titre de dette, identifié par le code ISIN US251525AP63 et le code CUSIP 251525AP6, a récemment atteint sa date d'échéance et a été intégralement remboursé à ses porteurs. L'émetteur, Deutsche Bank, est une institution financière mondiale de premier plan, dont le siège social est en Allemagne. En tant que l'une des plus grandes banques d'investissement au monde, elle joue un rôle crucial sur les marchés financiers internationaux, offrant une gamme étendue de services bancaires et financiers aux entreprises, aux institutions et aux particuliers à travers le monde. Ce titre spécifique était libellé en dollars américains (USD) et offrait un taux d'intérêt nominal de 4,5%, avec des paiements semi-annuels à ses détenteurs, conformément à une fréquence de paiement de deux fois par an. Sa date d'échéance fixée au 31 mars 2025, a désormais été honorée, confirmant le remboursement de l'intégralité du capital aux investisseurs. Peu avant son remboursement, son prix sur le marché secondaire était de 99,8607% de sa valeur nominale. La qualité de crédit de l'émetteur, Deutsche Bank, était évaluée par les principales agences de notation financières : Standard & Poor's (S&P) lui attribuait une note de BBB-, tandis que Moody's l'avait classée Baa3, ces deux notations étant considérées comme de catégorie d'investissement, reflétant la capacité perçue de la banque à honorer ses obligations financières.

We, Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft, are issuing $1,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.50% fixed rate subordinated Tier 2 notes, which we refer to as
the "Subordina t e d N ot e s ," due April 1, 2025, which we refer to as the "M a t urit y Da t e ." Subject to the imposition of a Resolution Measure (as defined herein) or any
redemption prior to the Maturity Date in the limited circumstances described herein, the Subordinated Notes will bear interest at a rate of 4.50% per year from (and
including) the date of issuance to (but excluding) the Maturity Date. Interest on the Subordinated Notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1
of each year, commencing on October 1, 2015.
The Subordinated Notes constitute our direct, unconditional, unsecured and subordinated obligations and will be subordinate to the claims of our unsubordinated
creditors. They will rank at least on parity with the claims of the holders of all our other subordinated indebtedness, except as otherwise provided by applicable law or the
terms of any such other indebtedness, and in particular, they will rank in priority to the claims of the holders of any of our subordinated indebtedness that by its express
terms is stated to rank junior to the Subordinated Notes. The claims for interest, repayment and any other claims under the Subordinated Notes will be subordinated in the
event of our insolvency or liquidation to the claims of all other creditors which are not also subordinated and will, in any such event, only be satisfied after all claims
against us which are not subordinated have been satisfied in full. The ranking of our obligations will be as provided in the subordinated indenture among us, Wilmington
Trust, National Association, as trustee (which we refer to as the "T rust e e ") and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as paying agent, transfer agent and registrar
and authenticating agent (which we refer to as the "a ge nt s ").

indenture or (iii) for the purpose of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, which we refer to as the "T rust I nde nt ure Ac t ," (including, without limitation,
Section 315(b) (Notice of Default) and Section 315(c) (Duties of the Trustee in Case of Default) of the Trust Indenture Act.
By your acquisition of the Subordinated Notes, you waive, to the fullest extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act and applicable law, any and all claims against the

action that the Trustee or any of the agents takes, or abstains from taking, in either case in accordance with the imposition of a Resolution Measure by our competent
resolution authority with respect to the Subordinated Notes.
We may redeem all, but not some, of the Subordinated Notes, with prior regulatory approval at our option at any time, for certain regulatory reasons or certain tax
reasons as described further herein.

SU M M ARY
The following summary describes the Subordinated Notes in general terms only. You should read the summary together with
the more detailed information contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
We expect to issue the Subordinated Notes under a subordinated indenture (which we refer to as the "Subordinated
Indenture") comprising a base subordinated indenture (which we refer to as the "Ba se Subordina t e d Indenture") entered into
on May 21, 2013 among us, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (which we refer to as the "Trustee") and Deutsche
Bank Trust Company Americas, as initial principal paying agent, transfer agent and registrar and authenticating agent (which we
refer to as the "agents"), and a supplement thereto relating to the Subordinated Notes (which we refer to as the "Supplemental
Subordinated Indenture") expected to be entered into on or about April 1, 2015 among us, the Trustee and the agents. The
Subordinated Notes will constitute a separate series of subordinated debt securities under the Subordinated Indenture. We filed the
Base Subordinated Indenture on May 21, 2013 as an exhibit to a post-effective amendment to the registration statement, and we
intend to file the Supplemental Subordinated Indenture with the SEC on or about April 1, 2015 as an exhibit to a Current Report on
Form 6-K. The terms of the Subordinated Notes include those stated in the Subordinated Indenture and those terms made part of
the Subordinated Indenture by reference to the U.S. Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, which we refer to as the "Trust
Indenture Act."

Ra nk ing
The Subordinated Notes constitute our direct, unconditional, unsecured and
subordinated obligations and will be subordinate to the claims of our
unsubordinated creditors. They will rank at least on parity with the claims of the
holders of all our other subordinated indebtedness, except as otherwise provided
by applicable law or the terms of any such other indebtedness, and in particular,
they will rank in priority to the claims of the holders of any of our subordinated
indebtedness that by its

PS-4
Table of Contents
express terms is stated to rank junior to the Subordinated Notes. Any right to set
off any claims for interest, repayment and any other claims under the
Subordinated Notes, which we refer to as "Pa ym e nt Cla im s ," against claims of
ours will be excluded (see "Description of the Subordinated Notes--Waiver of
Right to Set-Off"). No collateral or guarantee will be given to secure Payment
Claims. The Payment Claims will be subordinated in the event of our insolvency

or liquidation to the claims of all other creditors which are not also subordinated
and will, in any such event, only be satisfied after all claims against us which are
not subordinated have been satisfied in full. No subsequent agreement may limit
the subordination pursuant to the provisions set out under "Description of the
Subordinated Notes--Status" or shorten the term of the Subordinated Notes or
any applicable notice period.

Re solut ion M e a sure s
By acquiring any Subordinated Notes, you will be bound by and will be deemed
to consent to the imposition of any Resolution Measure (as defined below) by our
competent resolution authority.

Under the relevant resolution laws and regulations as applicable to us from time

to time, the Subordinated Notes may be subject to the powers exercised by our
competent resolution authority to:

· write down, including write down to zero, the claims for payment of the

principal amount, the interest amount or any other amount in respect of the
Subordinated Notes;

· convert the Subordinated Notes into ordinary shares or other instruments

qualifying as core equity tier 1 capital; and/or

· apply any other resolution measure, including, but not limited to, (i) any
transfer of the Subordinated Notes to another entity, (ii) the amendment of

the terms and conditions of the Subordinated Notes or (iii) the cancellation of
the Subordinated Notes.

We refer to each of these measures as a "Re solut ion M e a sure ." Resolution
Measures include, among others, the measures generally referred to within the

establishing a framework for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and
investment firms as implemented by the German Recovery and Resolution Act

(Sanierungs- und Abwicklungsgesetz). For the avoidance of doubt, any non-
payment by us arising out of any such Resolution Measure will not constitute a
failure by us under the terms of the Subordinated Notes or the Subordinated
Indenture to make a payment of principal of, interest on, or other amounts owing
under the Subordinated Notes.

De e m e d Agre e m e nt t o Re solut ion
By your acquisition of the Subordinated Notes, you will be deemed irrevocably to

· that the imposition of any Resolution Measure will not constitute a default or
an event of default (i) under the Subordinated Notes, (ii) under
the

(including, without limitation, Section 315(b) (Notice of Default) and
Section 315(c) (Duties of the Trustee in Case of Default) of the Trust
Indenture Act).

By your acquisition of the Subordinated Notes, you waive, to the fullest extent
permitted by the Trust Indenture Act and applicable law, any and all claims
against the Trustee and the agents for, agree not to initiate a suit against the
Trustee or the agents in respect of, and agree that the Trustee and agents will

not be liable for, any action that the Trustee or any of the agents takes, or
abstains from taking, in either case in accordance with the imposition of a
Resolution Measure by our competent resolution authority with respect to the
Subordinated Notes.

By your acquisition of the Subordinated Notes, you will be deemed irrevocably to
have (i) consented to the imposition of any Resolution Measure as it may be
imposed without any prior notice by our competent resolution authority of its
decision to exercise such power with respect to the Subordinated Notes and
(ii) authorized, directed and requested The Depository Trust Company and any

direct participant in The Depository Trust Company or other intermediary through
which you hold such Subordinated Notes to take any and all necessary action, if
required, to implement the imposition of any Resolution Measure with respect to
the Subordinated Notes as it may be imposed, without any further action or
direction on your part or on the part of the Trustee or the agents.

N o Se c urit y
No security or guarantee of whatever kind is, or will at any time be, provided by
us or any other person securing your rights under the Subordinated Notes.

We may, from time to time, without the consent of the holders of the
Subordinated Notes, issue additional notes under the Subordinated Indenture,
having the same ranking and same interest rate, maturity date, redemption terms
and other terms, except for the price to the public and issue date. Any such
additional notes, together with the Subordinated Notes offered by this prospectus
supplement, may constitute a single series of Subordinated Notes under the
Subordinated Indenture, provided that if such additional notes have the same
CUSIP, ISIN or other identifying number as the outstanding Subordinated Notes,
such additional notes must either (i) be issued with no more than a de minimis

otherwise issued in a qualified reopening for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

T a x Re de m pt ion
Subject to the prior consent of our competent supervisory authority, we may
redeem all, but not some, of the Subordinated Notes, at any time at our option, at
100% of their principal amount together with any accrued and unpaid interest to
(but excluding) the date set for

Table of Contents
redemption if, as a result of certain changes in the tax laws or regulations of the
Federal Republic of Germany or the United States, which becomes effective on
or after the Issue Date, or as a result of any application or official interpretation of
such laws or regulations not generally known before the Issue Date (as
described more fully under "Description of the Subordinated Notes--Redemption

--Tax Redemption"), withholding taxes are or there is a substantial probability
that they will be leviable on payments of principal or interest in respect of the
Subordinated Notes, and such withholding taxes would be payable by us as a
result of our obligation to pay "additional amounts" under the terms of the

100% of their principal amount together with any accrued and unpaid interest to
(but excluding) the date set for redemption if we determine, in our own discretion,
that (i) we may not treat the Subordinated Notes in their full aggregate principal
amount as Tier 2 capital for the purposes of our own funds in accordance with
applicable law, other than for certain reasons as described under "Description of
the Subordinated Notes--Redemption--Redemption for Regulatory Reasons," or
(ii) we are subject to any other form of a less advantageous regulatory own funds

maturity will require the prior consent of our competent supervisory authority. If
the Subordinated Notes are redeemed or repurchased by us otherwise than in
the circumstances described under "Description of the Subordinated Notes--

to such early redemption or repurchase.

CAU T I ON ARY N OT E REGARDI N G FORWARD-LOOK I N G ST AT EM EN T S
This prospectus supplement, including the information incorporated by reference, contains forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements are
statements that are not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs and expectations. We use words such as "believe,"
"anticipate," "expect," "intend," "seek," "estimate," "project," "should," "potential," "reasonably possible," "plan," "aim" and similar
expressions to identify forward-looking statements. In addition, we may from time to time make forward-looking statements in our
periodic reports to the SEC on Forms 20-F and 6-K, annual and interim reports, invitations to annual shareholders' meetings and
other information sent to shareholders, offering circulars and prospectuses, press releases and other written materials. Our
Management Board, Supervisory Board, officers and employees may also make oral forward-looking statements to third parties,
including financial analysts.

Such forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements relating to the following:

· the potential development and impact on us of economic and business conditions and the legal and regulatory

environment to which we are subject;

· the implementation of our strategic initiatives and other responses to the conditions and environment referenced above;

· the aspirations and targets we have announced in connection with our "Strategy 2015+";

· the measures we intend to implement in connection with our "Strategy 2015+";

· the development of aspects of our results of operations;

· our expectations of the impact of risks that affect our business, including the risks of losses on our trading processes and

credit exposures; and

· other statements relating to our future business development and economic performance.
By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, both general and specific. We base these
statements on our current plans, estimates, projections and expectations. You should therefore not place too much reliance on
them. Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date we make them, and we undertake no obligation to update any of
them in light of new information or future events.
We caution you that a number of important factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those we describe in
any forward-looking statement. These factors include, among others, the following:

· the potential development and impact on us of economic and business conditions;

· other changes in general economic and business conditions;

· changes and volatility in currency exchange rates, interest rates and asset prices;

· changes in governmental policy and regulation, including measures taken in response to economic, business, political and

social conditions;

· changes in our competitive environment;

· the success of our acquisitions, divestitures, mergers and strategic alliances;

· our success in implementing our strategic initiatives, including our "Strategy 2015+", and other responses to economic and

business conditions and the legal and regulatory environment and realizing the benefits anticipated therefrom;

· the impact on us of litigation, investigations and regulatory enforcement actions to which we are or may in the future

become subject; and
other factors, including those we refer to in "Item 3: Key Information--Risk Factors" of our most recent Annual Report on
Form 20-F, elsewhere in that Annual Report on Form 20-F, this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus,
and others to which we do not refer.

Our obliga t ions unde r t he Subordina t e d N ot e s a re subordina t e d.
Our obligations under the Subordinated Notes will be unsecured and subordinated and will rank junior in priority of payment to
the current and future claims of our creditors, other than claims in respect of any liability that is, or is expressed to be, subordinated
(except as otherwise provided by applicable law or the terms of such liability). We expect from time to time to incur additional
indebtedness or other obligations that will constitute senior indebtedness, and the Subordinated Indenture does not contain any
provisions restricting our ability to incur senior indebtedness. Although the Subordinated Notes may pay a higher rate of interest

than comparable notes which are not so subordinated, there is a real risk that you will lose all or some of your investment should
we become insolvent since our assets would be available to pay such amounts only after all of our senior creditors have been paid
in full.

On May 15, 2014, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union published a directive for establishing a
framework for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms (commonly referred to as the "Ba nk
Re c ove ry a nd Re solut ion Dire c t ive "). The Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive required each member state of the
European Union to adopt and publish by December 31, 2014 the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to
comply with the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive. To implement the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive, Germany
adopted the Recovery and Resolution Act (Sanierungs- und Abwicklungsgesetz, or the "Re solut ion Ac t "), which became
effective on January 1, 2015.
Pursuant to the Resolution Act, the Subordinated Notes are subject to the powers exercised by our competent resolution
authority to write down, including write down to zero, the claims for payment of the principal, interest or any other amount in respect
of the Subordinated Notes, to convert the Subordinated Notes into ordinary shares or other instruments qualifying as core equity
tier 1 capital, or to apply any other resolution measure including (but not limited to) a transfer of the Subordinated Notes to another
entity, an amendment to the terms and conditions of the Subordinated Notes or a cancellation of the Subordinated Notes. We refer
to each of these measures pursuant to German and European law as applicable to us from time to time in effect, as a Resolution
Measure. Resolution Measures include, among others, the measures generally referred to within the meaning of the "bail-in tool"
under the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive as implemented by the Resolution Act. Our competent resolution authority will
have to exercise its powers in a way that results in (i) common equity tier 1 capital instruments (such as ordinary shares of
Deutsche Bank AG) being written down first in proportion to the relevant losses, (ii) thereafter, the principal amount of other capital
instruments (additional tier 1 capital instruments and tier 2 capital instruments, such as the Subordinated Notes) being written down
on a permanent basis or converted into common equity tier 1 capital instruments in accordance with their order of priority and
(iii) thereafter, eligible liabilities being written down in accordance with a set order of priority. We expect additional Resolution
Measures to become applicable to us when the European regulation of July 15, 2014 relating to the resolution of credit institutions
and certain investment firms in the framework of a Single Resolution Mechanism and a Single Resolution Fund (commonly referred
to as the "SRM Re gula t ion") becomes effective on January 1, 2016 and prior to such date, if so provided in the law to be
adopted to conform German law to the SRM Regulation.

You would have no claim or other right against us arising out of any Resolution Measure, and we would have no obligation to
make payments under the Subordinated Notes following the imposition of a Resolution Measure. In particular, the imposition of any
Resolution Measure will not constitute a default or an event of default under the Subordinated Notes or the Subordinated Indenture
for the purpose of the Trust Indenture Act or give you any other right to accelerate or terminate the Subordinated Notes. Imposition
of a Resolution Measure would likely occur if we become, or are deemed by our competent supervisory authority to have become,
"non-viable" (as defined under the then applicable law) and are unable to continue our regulated banking activities without a
Resolution Measure becoming applicable to us.
There is some uncertainty as to what protections, if any, will be available to holders of securities that are subject to a
Resolution Measure and to the additional resolution powers that are anticipated to be granted to our competent resolution authority.
Under the Resolution Act, there are certain limited judicial proceedings available to challenge any resolution measures taken by our
competent resolution authority. Limited judicial proceedings to challenge resolution measures under European regulation (including
possible proceedings before the European Court of Justice) may also be available. However, proceedings such as these may not
be available under relevant law, and it remains unclear what remedies may be available to holders commencing such proceedings.
In addition, by your acquisition of the Subordinated Notes, you waive any and all claims against the Trustee and the paying agent,
and agree not to initiate a suit against the Trustee or the paying agent in respect of, and agree that the Trustee and the paying
agent will not be liable for, any action that the Trustee or the paying agent takes, or abstains from taking, in either case in
accordance with the imposition of a Resolution Measure by our competent resolution authority with respect to the Subordinated
Notes. Accordingly, you may have limited or circumscribed rights to challenge any decision of our competent resolution authority to
impose any Resolution Measure.
The extent to which the principal amount of, or other amount payable with respect to, the Subordinated Notes may be subject
to a Resolution Measure may depend on a number of factors that may be outside our control, and it will be difficult to predict when,
