How does the settlement of trades in foreign exchange work?

For example, if I am a large company with money in dollars and I buy another currency like Deutschmarks with my dollars, how does the money flow? Where do my Deutschmarks end up? Do US banks have accounts with foreign currency in them for this purpose?
