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 III
(a wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft)

70,000,000 7.60% 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 III, a Delaware statutory trust, which we refer to as the Trust, will offer for sale
70,000,000 7.60% 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 III, 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 February 20, 2008, which we refer to as the Issue Date, at a fixed coupon rate of 7.60%
per annum and will be payable quarterly in arrears, on February 20, May 20, August 20 and November 20 of each year,
which we refer to as Payment Dates, commencing on May 20, 2008. 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 February 20,
2013, to qualify all or a percentage amounting to at least 20% or an integral multiple thereof of each and every Class B
Preferred Security as consolidated Tier 1 regulatory capital. After each such election, if any, Capital Payments on the
percentage of the Class B Preferred Shares so qualified will be non-cumulative. 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 February 20, 2018 at the applicable redemption price.
Deutsche Bank AG 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-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 III. References in this prospectus supplement to "Company" or "Delaware Company" refer to
Deutsche Bank Contingent Capital LLC III. References in this prospectus supplement to the "Bank,"
"we," "our," "us" or "Deutsche Bank AG" refer to Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft (including, as
the context may require, acting through one of its branches) and, unless the context requires otherwise,
will include the Trust, the Company and our other consolidated subsidiaries.
References to "you" mean those who invest in the Trust Preferred Securities, whether 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 on the books that we or the trustee maintain for this
purpose, and not those who own beneficial interests in securities issued in book-entry form through The
Depository Trust Company or another depositary or in securities registered in street name. Owners of
beneficial interests in the Trust Preferred Securities should read the section entitled "Description of
Trust Securities -- Form, Book-Entry Procedures and Transfer."
You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus supplement and the
accompanying prospectus or to which we refer you. We have not authorized 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 States and
elsewhere where it is lawful to make such offers. The distribution of this prospectus supplement and the
accompanying prospectus and the offering of the Trust Preferred Securities in some jurisdictions may be
restricted by law. If you possess this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, you
should find out about and observe these restrictions. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus are not an offer to sell the Trust Preferred Securities and we are not soliciting an offer to buy
the Trust Preferred Securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted or where the
person making the offer or sale is not qualified to do so or from any person to whom it is not permitted to
make such offer or sale. We refer you to the information under "Underwriting" in this prospectus
supplement. The delivery of this prospectus supplement, at any time, does not create any implication that
there has been no change in our affairs since the date of this prospectus supplement or that the
information contained in this prospectus 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.
Certain capitalized terms used in this prospectus supplement are defined under "Glossary" starting on
page S-79.

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 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, 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 achieving the objectives of our current management agenda and realizing the
anticipated benefits therefrom; and
