The collection of the Norddeutsche Landesbank was founded in the mid-1990s and since then consistently expanded, focusing primarily on landscape painting and abstract tendencies. In addition to paintings, works on paper and editions by, among others, Rupprecht Geiger, Pia Fries, Imi Knoebel, Adrian Schiess, and Thomas Schütte, there are also larger work groups by the likes of Peter Doig, Katharina Grosse, Thomas Huber, and Norbert Schwontkowski.
