    1915 · Home of the Federal Reserve Bank for the Ninth District

    Age 1

    The first building for the Federal Reserve bank in Minneapolis was completed in 1915 and was a peculiar structure. It had no windows on the lower walls close to the street and later, a small skyscraper was added to the top. It was created to serve the states of Montana, North and South Dakota, Minnesota, and the northern parts of Wisconsin and Michigan. Even though it covers a wide area, it serves the smallest population base of the entire reserve system. Today the Federal Reserve is housed in three buildings that are housed a few blocks away from each other.

    Name Meaning

    Some characteristic forenames: German Kurt, Otto, Hans, Erwin, Dieter, Frieda, Monika, Reinhard, Egon, Fritz, Heinz, Wilhelm.

    German (mainly König) and Jewish (Ashkenazic; also König): from Middle High German künic, German König ‘king’, hence a German nickname for a servant or retainer of a king (for example, a farmer on a royal demesne), or alternatively a status name for the head of a craftmen's guild, or a society of sharpshooters or minstrels. As a Jewish surname, it is artificial, one of several such Ashkenazic names based on European titles of nobility or royalty. The surname Koenig is also found in France (Alsace and Lorraine) and Poland. In eastern Germany the surname König is in part a Germanized form (translation into German) of Sorbian Kral ‘king’. Similarly, in Czechia, Poland, Slovenia, and Croatia, it was often applied as a translation into German of Czech, Polish, Slovenian, and Croatian cognates Král (see Kral ), Król (see Krol ), and Kralj , respectively. Compare Konig .
