Many Germans feel that whoever wins the general election on September 22, 2013, they should not fund any more bailouts of fellow European states, whose errant banks are a particular bugbear for Berlin. But a cornerstone of its own banking system, which has already received state bailouts, remains in dire need of reforms which will be very hard for any new government to deliver. Founded in the 19th century to help Germany promote regional development, the Landesbanken play a hallowed role as low cost lenders to local projects and the 'Mittelstand', the small and midsized firms central to the eurozone's most resilient economy.

Former directors of bailed-out German lender HSH Nordbank appeared in court on Wednesday in the first case of the entire executive board of a European bank facing trial for actions in the build-up to the financial crisis. Hamburg prosecutors are charging the six men, who include former chief executive Dirk Jens Nonnenmacher and his predecessor Hans Berger, with breach of fiduciary trust. The defendants have previously said they are not guilty, although in Germany an official plea is only presented at the final stage of a trial. If found guilty, the former directors could face up to 10 years behind bars, although judges have often handed defendants in similar cases fines rather than jail sentences.
