PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
(To Prospectus dated October 10, 2006)

Filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2)
Registration Statement No. 333-137902

Deutsche Bank Contingent Capital Trust V
(a wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft)

44,000,000 8.05% Trust Preferred Securities
(Liquidation Preference Amount $25 per Trust Preferred Security)
guaranteed on a subordinated basis by Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft
Deutsche Bank Contingent Capital Trust V, a Delaware statutory trust, which we refer to as the Trust, will offer
for sale 44,000,000 8.05% trust preferred securities (each with a $25 liquidation preference amount), which we
refer to as Trust Preferred Securities, and will sell one common security to Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft,
which we refer to as Deutsche Bank AG or the Bank. The Trust will use the proceeds from the sale of the Trust
Preferred Securities and the common security to buy a class of preferred securities, which we refer to as
Class B Preferred Securities, issued by Deutsche Bank Contingent Capital LLC V, a Delaware limited liability
company, which we refer to as the Company. The Class B Preferred Securities will be the only assets of the
Trust. The Class B Preferred Securities are not offered hereby.
Distributions, which we also refer to as Capital Payments, on the Trust Preferred Securities and on the Class B
Preferred Securities will accrue on the respective liquidation preference amounts of $25 per Trust Preferred
Security and $25 per Class B Preferred Security, from May 9, 2008, which we refer to as the Issue Date, at a
fixed coupon rate of 8.05% per annum and will be payable quarterly in arrears, on March 30, June 30,
September 30 and December 30 of each year, which we refer to as Payment Dates, commencing on June 30,
2008. There will be a short initial Payment Period from and including the Issue Date to but excluding the first
Payment Date. Capital Payments on the Trust Preferred Securities are expected to be paid out of the Capital
Payments received by the Trust from the Company with respect to the Class B Preferred Securities. Capital
Payments on the Class B Preferred Securities will be made only when, as and if declared or deemed declared
by the Company's Board of Directors. Capital Payments on the Class B Preferred Securities will only be
authorized to be made on any Payment Date if the Company has sufficient operating profits and the Bank has
sufficient distributable profits. Capital Payments will be cumulative, unless and until the Bank elects, prior to
June 30, 2013, to qualify all or a percentage amounting to at least 10% or an integral multiple thereof of each
and every Class B Preferred Security as consolidated Tier 1 regulatory capital. If the Bank makes such an
election, Capital Payments on the percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities so qualified will be
noncumulative beginning with the first day of the Payment Period during which the Tier 1 qualification election
occurs. The respective percentages of each Class B Preferred Security for which the election has been made
and has not been made will not be separable at any time, and each Class B Preferred Security will at all times
consist of a single security with a liquidation preference amount of $25.
The Trust Preferred Securities offered hereby do not have a maturity date. We may redeem the
Trust Preferred Securities in whole but not in part, in connection with the redemption of the Class B Preferred
Securities, on any Payment Date on or after June 30, 2018 at the applicable redemption price.
Deutsche Bank AG ful y and unconditional y guarantees, on a subordinated basis, payments in respect of the
Trust Preferred Securities.

Investing in the Trust Preferred Securities involves risks. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-15
for a discussion of certain factors that should be considered by prospective investors.

Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities regulator has approved
or disapproved of these securities or determined whether this prospectus supplement or the
accompanying prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal
offense.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
References in this prospectus supplement to "Trust" refer to Deutsche Bank Contingent
Capital Trust V. References in this prospectus supplement to "Company" or "Delaware
Company" refer to Deutsche Bank Contingent Capital LLC V. References in this

they are the direct holders or owners of beneficial interests in those securities.
References to "holders" mean those who own securities registered in their own names

"Description of Trust Securities -- Form, Book-Entry Procedures and Transfer."

anyone to provide you with information that is different. This prospectus supplement
and the accompanying prospectus may only be used where it is legal to sell these
securities. You should assume that the information in this prospectus supplement and
the accompanying prospectus is accurate as of the date of this prospectus
supplement only.
The Trust is offering the Trust Preferred Securities for sale in those jurisdictions in the United

supplement is correct as of any time subsequent to that date.
In connection with the issue of the Trust Preferred Securities, the underwriters (or persons
acting on behalf of any underwriter) may over-allot Trust Preferred Securities or effect
transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the Trust Preferred Securities at a
level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However, there is no assurance that the
underwriters (or persons acting on behalf of any underwriter) will undertake stabilization
action. Such stabilizing, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time and, if begun, must
be brought to an end after a limited period. Any stabilization action or over-allotment must be
conducted by the relevant underwriter (or person(s) acting on behalf of any underwriter) in
accordance with all applicable laws and rules.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus supplement contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which we refer to as the Securities
Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which we refer to
as the Exchange Act, with respect to Deutsche Bank AG's financial condition and results of
operations. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts; they
include statements about our beliefs and expectations. We use words such as "believe,"
"anticipate," "expect," "intend," "seek," "estimate," "project," "should," "potential," "reasonably
possible," "plan" and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.
In this document, forward-looking statements include, among others, statements relating to:

· our implementation of our strategic initiatives and management agenda;

· the development of aspects of our results of operations;

· our targets for income before income tax expense ("IBIT") attributable to Deutsche Bank
shareholders (target definition), pre-tax return on average active equity (target definition)
across the business cycle and diluted earnings per share growth;

· our expectations of the impact of risks that affect our business, including the risks of
losses on our trading activities and credit exposures; and

· other statements relating to our future business development and economic performance.
In addition, we may from time to time make forward-looking statements in our periodic
reports to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which we refer to as the SEC, on
Forms 20-F and 6-K, annual and interim reports, invitations to annual shareholders' meetings
and other information sent to shareholders, offering circulars and prospectuses, press
releases and other written materials. Our Management Board, Supervisory Board, officers
and employees may also make oral forward-looking statements to third parties, including
financial analysts.
By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, both general
and specific. We base these statements on our current plans, estimates, projections and
expectations. You should therefore not place undue reliance on them. Our forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date we make them, and we undertake no obligation to
update any of them in light of new information or future events.
We caution you that a number of important factors could cause our actual results to differ
materially from those described in any forward-looking statements. These factors include,
among others, the following:

· changes in general economic and business conditions;

· changes and volatility in currency exchange rates, interest rates and asset prices;

· changes in governmental policy and regulation, and political and social conditions;

· changes in our competitive environment;

· the success of our acquisitions, divestitures, mergers and strategic alliances;

· our success in implementing our management agenda and realizing the anticipated
benefits therefrom; and

· other factors, including those we refer to in "Item 3: Key Information -- Risk Factors" of
our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F and elsewhere in that Annual Report on
Form 20-F, this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus, and others to
which we do not refer.
