The distribution of this Prospectus and any Final Terms and the offering, sale and delivery of the

or any Final Terms comes are required to inform themselves about and to observe any such
restrictions. For a description of the restrictions applicable in the United States of America, European
Economic Area in general, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland ("United
Kingdom"), Japan and the Republic of Italy, see "Selling Restrictions". In particular, the Notes have
not been and wil not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
are subject to tax law requirements of the United States of America; subject to certain exceptions,
Notes may not be offered, sold or delivered within the United States of America or to U.S. persons.
The language of the Prospectus is English. The German versions of the English language sets of
Terms and Conditions are shown in the Prospectus for additional information. As to form and content,
and all rights and obligations of the Holders and the Issuer under the Notes to be issued, German is
the controlling legal y binding language if so specified in the relevant Final Terms.
The Final Terms in respect of any Notes may include a legend entitled "MiFID II Product Governance"
which wil outline the target market assessment in respect of the Notes and which channels for
distribution of the Notes are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending
the Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration the target market assessment; however, a
distributor subject to Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II") is responsible for undertaking its
own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the target market
assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
A determination wil be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the MiFID
Product Governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the "MiFID Product Governance
Rules"), any Dealer subscribing for any Notes is a manufacturer in respect of such Notes, but
otherwise neither the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a
manufacturer for the purpose of the MiFID Product Governance Rules.
If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes include a legend entitled "PROHIBITION OF SALES TO
EEA AND UK RETAIL INVESTORS", the Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise
made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in
the European Economic Area ("EEA") or in the United Kingdom ("UK"). For these purposes, a retail
investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article
4(1) of MiFID II; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive 2016/97/EU, where that customer
would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (ii ) not a
qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation. Consequently, no key information
document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for
offering or sel ing the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA or in the
UK has been prepared and, therefore, offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available
to any retail investor in the EEA or in the UK may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
Interest amounts payable under Floating Rate Notes are calculated by reference to (i) EURIBOR (Euro
Interbank Offered Rate) which is provided by the European Money Markets Institute (EMMI) or (ii)
LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) which is provided by ICE Benchmark Administration Limited
(IBA). As at the date of this Prospectus, each of EMMI and IBA appears on the register of
administrators and benchmarks established and maintained by the European Securities and Markets
Authority (ESMA) pursuant to Article 36 of the Benchmarks Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/1011)
("BMR").
Each Dealer and/or each further financial intermediary subsequently reselling or finally placing
Notes issued under the Programme is entitled to use the Prospectus as set out under "Consent to
the Use of the Prospectus" below.
This Prospectus may only be used for the purpose for which it has been published.
Neither this Prospectus nor any Final Terms may be used for the purpose of an offer or
solicitation by anyone in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is not authorised or
to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or solicitation.
In connection with the issue of any Tranche of Notes under the Programme, the Dealer(s) who
is(are) specified in the relevant Final Terms as the Stabilising Manager(s) (or persons acting on
its(their) behalf) may overallot Notes or effect transactions with a view to supporting the price



4
of the Notes at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However, stabilisation
may not necessarily occur. Any stabilisation action may begin on or after the date on which
adequate public disclosure of the final terms of the offer of the relevant Tranche of Notes is
made and, if begun, may cease at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days
after the Issue Date and 60 days after the date of the allotment of the relevant Tranche of Notes.
Any stabilisation action or over-allotment must be conducted by the relevant Stabilising
Manager(s) (or person(s) acting on behalf of any Stabilising Manager(s)) in accordance with all
applicable laws and rules.

Forward-looking Statements
This Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements. A forward-looking statement is a
statement that does not relate to historical facts and events. They are based on analyses or forecasts
of future results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable or foreseeable. These forward-looking
statements are identified by the use of terms and phrases such as "anticipate", "believe", "could",
"estimate", "expect", "intend", "may", "plan", "predict", "project", "will" and similar terms and phrases,
including references and assumptions. This applies, in particular, to statements in this Prospectus
containing information on future earning capacity, plans and expectations regarding the Issuer's
business and management, its growth and profitability, and general economic and regulatory
conditions and other factors that affect it.
Forward-looking statements in this Prospectus are based on current estimates and assumptions that
the Issuer makes to the best of its present knowledge. These forward-looking statements are subject
to risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual results, including the Issuer's
financial condition and income position, to differ materially from and be worse than results that have
expressly or implicitly been assumed or described in these forward-looking statements. The Issuer's
business is also subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause a forward-looking
statement, estimate or prediction in this Prospectus to become inaccurate. Accordingly, investors are
strongly advised to read the following sections of this Prospectus: "Risk Factors" and "Deutsche
Hypothekenbank (Actien-Gesellschaft)". These sections include more detailed descriptions of factors
that might have an impact on the Issuer's business and the markets in which it operates.
In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, future events described in this Prospectus may
not occur. In addition, neither the Issuer nor the Dealers assume any obligation, except as required by
law, to update any forward-looking statement or to conform these forward-looking statements to actual
events or developments.

General Description of the Programme
I. General
Under this Programme, Deutsche Hypothekenbank may from time to time issue notes (the "Notes") to
one or more of the Dealers and any additional Dealer appointed under the Programme by the Issuer
from time to time. The maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding under the
Programme wil not exceed EUR 15,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency). The Issuer
may increase the amount of the Programme in accordance with the terms of the Dealer Agreement
from time to time.
Notes under the Programme may be issued as unsecured obligations of the Issuer, as Mortgage
Pfandbriefe (Hypothekenpfandbriefe) or Public Pfandbriefe (Öffentliche Pfandbriefe). The Notes may
be offered to qualified and non-qualified investors, unless the applicable Final Terms include a legend
entitled "PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA AND UK RETAIL INVESTORS".
Notes in bearer form will be issued in Tranches (each a "Tranche"), each Tranche consisting of Notes
which are identical in al respects. One or more Tranches, which are expressed to be consolidated and
forming a single series and are identical in al respects, but may have different issue dates, interest
commencement dates, issue prices and dates for first interest payments may form a series of Notes
("Series"). Further Notes may be issued as part of existing Issues.
Notes may be issued at an issue price which is at par or at a discount to, or premium over, par as
stated in the relevant Final Terms. Notes will be issued with a maturity of twelve months or more. The
Notes will be freely transferable.
The yield for Notes with fixed interest rates wil be calculated by the use of the ICMA method, which
determines the effective interest rate of notes taking into account accrued interest on a daily basis.
The Risk Factors contained in this Prospectus are limited to risks which are (i) specific to the Issuer as
well as the Notes, and (ii) are material for taking an informed investment decision. They are presented
in a limited number of categories depending on their nature. In each category the most material risk
factor is mentioned first.
Under this Prospectus a summary will only be drawn up in relation to a particular issue of Notes with a
denomination of less than EUR 100,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies). Such an issue-specific
summary wil be annexed to the applicable Final Terms.
Application has been made to the CSSF, which is the Luxembourg competent authority for the
purpose of the Prospectus Regulation for its approval of this Prospectus.
Subject to any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, notably the Pfandbrief Act, and requirements
of relevant central banks, monetary or other authorities, Notes may be issued in Australian Dollar,
Canadian Dol ar, euro, Japanese Yen, Pound Sterling, Swiss Franc, U.S. Dollar or any other currency
agreed by the Issuer and the relevant Dealer(s).
Notes wil be issued in such denominations as may be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant
Dealer(s) and as indicated in the applicable Final Terms save that the minimum denomination of the
Notes wil be, if in euro, EUR 1,000, and, if in any currency other than euro, an amount in such other
currency nearly equivalent to EUR 1,000 at the time of the issue of the Notes. Subject to any
applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, and requirements of relevant central banks, Notes may be
issued in euro or any other currency.
Application has been made to list Notes, including Pfandbriefe, to be issued under the Programme on
the regulated market of the Hanover Stock Exchange or on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange and to trade Notes on the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or on the
professional segment of the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. Notes may be
listed on further stock exchanges or may not be listed at al .
Notes will be accepted for clearing through one or more Clearing Systems as specified in the
applicable Final Terms. These systems will comprise those operated by Clearstream Banking AG,
Frankfurt am Main, Clearstream Banking S.A., Luxembourg and Euroclear Bank SA/NV. If the Notes
are intended to be held in a manner, which would allow Eurosystem eligibility, the Notes wil be
deposited initially upon issue with in the case of (i) a new global note either Clearstream Banking S.A.,
Luxembourg or Euroclear Bank SA/NV as common safekeeper or, (i ) a classical global note



7
Clearstream Banking AG, Frankfurt am Main. It does not necessarily mean that the Notes will be
recognised as eligible collateral for Eurosystem monetary policy and intra-day credit operations by the
Eurosystem either upon issue or at any or all times during their life. Such recognition will depend upon
satisfaction of the Eurosystem eligibility criteria.
Under the Luxembourg Law prospectuses relating to money market instruments having a maturity at
issue of less than 12 months and complying also with the definition of securities are not subject to the
approval provisions of Part II of such law.

Documentation of the Conditions

ways:
- The Final Terms shal be completed as set out therein. The Final Terms shal determine which of
the Option I to Option VII, including certain further options contained therein, respectively, shall be
applicable to the individual issue of Notes by replicating the relevant provisions and completing the
relevant placeholders of the relevant set of Terms and Conditions as set out in the Prospectus in
the Final Terms. The replicated and completed provisions of the set of Terms and Conditions alone

the relevant Tranche. This type of documentation of the Conditions will be required where the



8
Notes are publicly offered, in whole or in part, or are to be initial y distributed, in whole or in part, to

brackets which include the relevant items) which wil be determined by the Final Terms as follows:
Determination of Options
The Issuer will determine which options will be applicable to the individual issue either by replicating
the relevant provisions in the Final Terms or by reference of the Final Terms to the respective sections
of the relevant set of Terms and Conditions as set out in the Prospectus. If the Final Terms do not
refer to an alternative or optional provision or such alternative or optional provision is not replicated
therein it shal be deemed to be deleted from the Conditions.
Completion of Placeholders
The Final Terms will specify the information with which the placeholders in the relevant set of Terms
and Conditions will be completed. In the case the provisions of the Final Terms and the relevant set of
Terms and Conditions, taken together, shal constitute the Conditions the relevant set of Terms and
Conditions shal be deemed to be completed by the information contained in the Final Terms as if such
information were inserted in the placeholders of such provisions.
All instructions and explanatory notes and text set out in square brackets in the relevant set of Terms
and Conditions and any footnotes and explanatory text in the Final Terms wil be deemed to be

Risk Factors
The following is a description of material risks that are specific to the Issuer and/or may affect
its ability to fulfill its obligations under the Notes and that are material to the Notes issued
under the Programme in order to assess the market risk associated with these Notes.
Prospective investors should consider these risk factors before deciding whether to purchase
Notes issued under the Programme.
Prospective investors should consider all information provided in this Prospectus and consult
with their own professional advisers (including their financial, accounting, legal and tax
advisers) if they consider it necessary. In addition, investors should be aware that the risks
described may combine and thus intensify one another.
Certain of the Dealers and their affiliates have engaged, and may in the future engage, in
investment banking and/or commercial banking transactions with, and may perform services
for, the Issuer and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business.
Risk Factors in respect of Deutsche Hypothekenbank (Actien-Gesellschaft)
The risk factors regarding Deutsche Hypothekenbank are presented in the following categories
depending on their nature with the most material risk factor presented first in each category:
1. Risks related to the general business of Deutsche Hypothekenbank
2. Risks related to the banking business of Deutsche Hypothekenbank
3. Risks related to legal, regulatory and other matters of Deutsche Hypothekenbank

1.
Risks related to the general business of Deutsche Hypothekenbank

Risks related to coronavirus Sars-CoV-2 (COVID-19)
As at the date of this Prospectus, the spread of the coronavirus ("coronacrisis") has a noticeable, in
some cases significant, impact on the economic activity of many markets, some of which are
significant for Deutsche Hypothekenbank. Since 11 March 2020, the WHO has classified the spread of
the virus as a pandemic. This has also significantly increased the likelihood of further burdens on the
economy and future negative consequences for the real estate industry. As a result, there was a
noticeable deterioration in the sentiment among companies and consumers. Sharp declines in share
prices with higher volatilities were observed at times on the capital markets.
The concrete effects on the economy, individual markets and sectors cannot yet be conclusively
assessed. In view of the unfolding dynamics, forecasts are characterised by a high degree of
uncertainty. However, if the effects of the coronavirus on the economy are reflected in sustained
economic and capital market burdens and the current situation persists or worsens for a longer period
of time, this could also have a significant negative impact on the real estate markets due to vacancies
and losses in the value of commercial properties, thus leading to rising risk provisioning expenses.
There could also be a significant decrease in new business volume and portfolios in commercial real
estate financing.
Possible effects of the coronacrisis on business areas of Deutsche Hypothekenbank are being closely
monitored. It cannot be ruled out that further developments relating to the coronacrisis wil have a
considerable negative impact on the planned earnings figures for Deutsche Hypothekenbank. In such
a situation, the result from normal operations could be significantly lower in the financial year 2020 and
beyond as a result of rising risk provision expenses and burdens in net interest income. In this case,
the other key performance indicators Cost-income ratio (CIR) and Return on Equity (RoE) could
possibly also develop less favourably. In addition, there may be corresponding consequences for
regulatory capital and regulatory key figures at both the Issuer and Group levels. This could also result
in considerable liquidity risks. It cannot be ruled out that further developments in the coronacrisis may
also have a significant negative impact on the risk control parameters.

Risks for new business and portfolio development
This type of risk could arise as a result of changes in the economic climate. Unexpected developments
of external economic, geopolitical and industry-specific framework conditions and trends in the
international financial markets may have a significant influence on Deutsche Hypothekenbank. This
also includes market conditions, customer behaviour and technical advances.
There are risks of lower demand for real estate financing due to reduced growth in the real estate
markets, caused for example by weakening economic growth or a considerable interest rate increase.
Other uncertainties resulting from political developments are not to be excluded as they could
influence the real estate markets and hence also the new business activities of Deutsche
Hypothekenbank. An unexpectedly sharp increase in competition on the lender side is also possible,
which could have a corresponding impact on the realisable margins and new business of Deutsche
Hypothekenbank.
Changes in market conditions can cause the demand for products offered by Deutsche
Hypothekenbank to fall short of the Bank's expectations - it can disappear or be severely reduced.
Changes in customer behaviour can also lead to a loss of market share. One cause for this could be
that the Bank's reputation could have been compromised (reputation risk). Technical advances can
also give rise to risks that mean that certain of the Bank's products are no longer required, as they no
longer fulfil the current needs of the Bank's customers.
There is also the risk that the portfolio volume will not perform to the level anticipated in the Bank's
plans and expectations. This is influenced by general factors, largely affected by customer behaviour
in respect of ordinary or unscheduled repayments of loans. Furthermore, changes to underlying
conditions and the competitive situation in the commercial real estate finance market could lead to
portfolios and margins performing worse than expected. Changes to underlying external or internal
conditions could also have an impact on the Bank's funding terms.

Risks for the income development
Limited predictability of developments in the capital market portfolio constitutes a risk regarding the
result of Deutsche Hypothekenbank. Unexpected developments of external economic, geopolitical and
industry-specific framework conditions and trends in the international financial markets may have a
significant influence on the development of Deutsche Hypothekenbank's results. They could drive the
worsening of borrower creditworthiness and therefore lead to a need for higher loan loss provisions
compared to the forecast, both in the commercial real estate finance business and in the capital
market portfolio. Despite careful planning of the risk result, a trend reversal of the external framework
conditions, for example a considerable drop in real estate prices following an interest rate increase,
could lead to the deterioration of borrower creditworthiness and to an impairment of the value of the
collateral provided, and could also result in a need for additional loan loss provisions.
Weaker than planned portfolio and margin developments, resulting for instance from increased
competition or a reduction in credit demand, also bear risks regarding the financial result of Deutsche
Hypothekenbank. Furthermore, it is conceivable that the terms for funding may become more costly
and that these costs cannot be passed on within the framework of conditions, or the demand for
unsecured funding may increase. General y speaking, an early improvement in the Bank's or the
parent company's rating compared to the planning assumptions could have positive effects on funding
conditions. A deterioration of the Bank's or parent company's rating as well as longer-term uncertainty
about the Group's situation could have corresponding negative effects on the Bank's funding
opportunities and costs. Potential tensions in the financial markets could make funding measures
more difficult. A more restrictive than expected monetary policy of the relevant central banks could
increase funding costs or reduce funding opportunities as well. Risks could arise if the expected new
business volume cannot be generated in the markets at the planned margins. Increased funding costs
for Deutsche Hypothekenbank, for example due to changes to the Bank's or parent company's rating
with constant margin requirements, could restrict the volume of the planned new business and
therefore reduce the earnings base.
