The 57-year-old joined Deutsche Bank's management board in 2015 and was its longest standing member alongside chief executive Christian Sewing, serving as deputy CEO alongside Chief Financial Officer James von Moltke.

Von Rohr was also chairman of Deutsche Bank's fund business DWS, which said in a separate statement that the bank had asked him to stand for re-election on June 15 and to be a member of its supervisory board for the remainder of his term.

"Deutsche Bank will provide an update concerning Karl von Rohr's succession in the Management Board in the near future," Deutsche Bank said in its statement.
