PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

(To Prospectus dated October 10, 2006)
Registration Statement No. 333-137902

Deutsche Bank Capital Funding Trust IX
(a wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft)

40,000,000 6.625% Noncumulative Trust Preferred Securities
(Liquidation Preference Amount $25 per Trust Preferred Security)
guaranteed on a subordinated basis by Deutsche Bank
Aktiengesellschaft
Deutsche Bank Capital Funding Trust IX, a Delaware statutory trust, which we refer to as the Trust, wil
offer for sale 40,000,000 6.625% noncumulative trust preferred securities (each with a $25 liquidation
preference amount), which we refer to as Trust Preferred Securities, and will sell to Deutsche Bank
Aktiengesellschaft one common security. 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 Capital Funding LLC IX, 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 July 20, 2007, which we refer to
as the Issue Date, at a fixed coupon rate of 6.625% per annum and will be payable quarterly in arrears,
on February 20, May 20, August 20 and November 20, which we refer to as Payment Dates, of each
year, commencing on November 20, 2007. There will be a long 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.
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 August 20, 2012 at the applicable redemption
price.
Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft (the "Bank") fully and unconditionally 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-12 for a discussion of certain factors that should be considered by prospective
investors.

Neither the 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.

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 (the "Securities Act"), and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 expectations of the impact of risks that affect our business, including the risks of loss
on our credit exposures and risks relating to changes in interest and currency exchange
rates and in asset prices; 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 ("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 achieving the objectives of our current 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

Germany registered in the commercial register of the District Court in Frankfurt am Main
under registration number HRB 30 000. Our registered office is in Frankfurt am Main. We
maintain our head office at Taunusanlage 12, 60325 Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft originated from the reunification of Norddeutsche Bank
Aktiengesellschaft, Hamburg, Rheinisch-Westfälische Bank Aktiengesellschaft, Düsseldorf
and Süddeutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft, Munich, pursuant to the Law on the Regional
Scope of Credit Institutions, these had been disincorporated in 1952 from Deutsche Bank,
which was founded in 1870. The merger and the name were entered in the Commercial
Register of the District Court Frankfurt am Main on May 2, 1957.
We are the parent company of a group consisting of banks, capital market companies, fund
management companies, a property finance company, installment financing companies,
research and consultancy companies and other domestic and foreign companies. We offer a
wide variety of investment, financial and related products and services to private individuals,
corporate entities and institutional clients around the world.
We are the largest bank in Germany and one of the largest financial institutions in Europe
and the world measured by total assets. As of March 31, 2007, on an unaudited basis, we

to us.

Exchange Rates
Germany's currency is the euro. For convenience, we translate some amounts denominated
in euro appearing in certain documents incorporated by reference herein into U.S. dollars.
Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the euro and the U.S. dollar will affect the
U.S. dollar equivalent of the euro price of our shares quoted on the German stock exchanges
and, as a result, are likely to affect the market price of our shares on the New York Stock
Exchange. These fluctuations will also affect the U.S. dollar value of cash dividends we may
pay on our shares in euros. Past fluctuations in foreign exchange rates may not necessarily
be predictive of future fluctuations.
The following table shows the period-end, average, high and low noon buying rates for the
euro. In each case, the period-end rate is the noon buying rate announced on the last
business day of the period.
