History

From 1844-1856, Friedrich Nietzsche resided in Leipzig; Germany (Earth-1). By 1869, he was awarded an honorary doctorate by Leipzig University in March of that year, before serving the position of professor at the university of Basel in Switzerland (Earth-1).

In 1975, Rip Hunter and Sara Lance scouted the Bruemberg Group bank in order to target Vandal Savage's financial assets. The duo posed as prospective clients and deposited some doubloons from the wreck of the Esplinade into an account. However, Rip discovered that while Savage's funds weren't in the bank, there were records detailing a "vessel". Sara realized the bank's employees (including Blake (banker)) were Savage's followers, forcing her and Rip to battle them.^[1]
