**Minimum deposit 5000 DM
Explanation:
Although Anlage can be investment, from your earlier questions I believe the product in this case is an interest-bearing checking account, which is not usually referred to as an investment in my experience. Most of the ads I see here have a minimum deposit or a minimum balance requirement. (The minimum deposit is the amount you must deposit in order to open an account subject to the advertised terms, and the minimum balance is the minimum amount that must be kept in the account to retain the account's advantages and not incur other charges.)

HTH!
