List of savings banks in Germany

The Stadt-Sparkasse Solingen is a public service savings bank based in the Bergisches city of Solingen. Her business area is the city of Solingen, where it is the largest financial institution.

Sparkasse foundation [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

In 1836 the Prussian government issued a decree that the municipalities should arrange for the foundation of a savings bank. This should counteract the rampant poverty in the lower sections of the population. In 1837, however, the Solingen City Council decided against the establishment of its own savings bank. It took many persuading work by the district councilors of the Solingen district, Georg von Hauer (term 1819–1836) and Julius von der Busche-Zippenburg (tenure 1836–1850) to arouse interest in their own savings bank at the Solingen city council. With the support of the Mayor of Solingen Peter Müller (term 1835–1843), after a few attempts to conviction, in a new decision by the city council on July 23, 1839, it was finally possible to have the statutes worked out for their own savings bank. [3] : 41–48

On February 27, 1840, the Koblenz chief president granted the approval to establish a savings bank in the city of Solingen. On April 18, 1840, the statutes of the new Sparkasse in the Solingen district intelligence sheet were made publicly known. The Sparkassenbetrieb was recorded on May 8, 1840, this day is therefore the founding day of the Sparkasse, where the first ten savings books were also spent in the town hall at the time. Mayor Müller was elected as director of the Sparkasse, and the supervision also consisted of three administrators with their deputies and a rendant who led the business. The business area was the city of Solingen, but the Sparkasse was also open to the residents of the neighboring cities of Dorp and Höhscheid. [3] : 41–48

Finished years until the end of the 19th century [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

Although the Sparkasse aimed, in particular, to give the lower class a way to the interest savings, it mainly achieved her success in the middle class. The Solingen district administrator from the Bussche kettle was still committed to opening the Sparkasse Solingen for all six municipalities in the so-called upper district of Solingen, which, in addition to Solingen, Dorp and Höhscheid, also included Gräfrath, Wald and Merscheid. These communities were initially not interested in participating in the Solinger Sparkasse, so that the district administrator had to fight resistors again. Finally, it was only in 1843 that after approval of the new statutes by the chief president, it managed to open the Sparkasse for the upper district of Solingen. The first own business premises of the Sparkasse was in 1843 in House in the square , At the point of today’s tromna house. [3] : 49–54

The Sparkasse initially only had limited success, only slowly the number of savings books output increased until every 73rd residents had its own savings book in 1865. From the 1860s, the increasing economic success of the Sparkasse aroused the first desires in the other municipalities of the district. The city of Merscheid from the Sparkassenverbund was first eliminated on January 1, 1865 and founded its own Sparkasse, whereupon the city of Solingen held the sole responsibility for its Sparkasse. However, it remained responsible for the other communities. A little later, however, the city of Solingen, which felt unjustly treated with the remaining cities due to the new contractual obligations, urged the other cities to establish its own savings bank. The less well developed cities of Dorp and Höhscheid, who had received city law according to the Rhenish city regulations in 1856, but were more of land communities in their form, but did not see themselves to be found to found their own savings bank. After a conflict with the city of Wald, the city of Wald founded its own savings bank on January 1, 1871. Dorp followed in 1881 and Gräfrath and Höhscheid also followed in 1884. However, the Dorper Sparkasse was reunited with the Stadt-Sparkasse Solingen in 1889 because Dorp was incorporated into Solingen. [3] : 55–83

Fiscal years until the Second World War [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

An age sparkasse, founded by the Stadt-Sparkasse Solingen in 1886, was dissolved again in 1903 due to the low success. From 1911 the savings banks introduced the check and giro traffic one after the other, the savings banks in Solingen and Wald began, the last Sparkasse was the Sparkasse Höhscheid in 1921. [3] : 148

From the early 19th century, the grown operation of the savings banks required the move to new premises or the opening of branches. The first new building of the Stadt-Sparkasse Solingen was built in 1909 on today’s Graf-Engelbert-Straße. Previously, the administration had changed in various buildings in the old town. After the First World War, the savings banks also opened the first branches in their urban areas, including the Mengenberg branch of the Sparkasse Wald in 1921, the Central branch of Sparkasse Gräfrath in 1923 and in 1928 the Weyer branch of Sparkasse Ohligs, which had emerged in 1891 after renaming Sparkasse Merscheid.

The branch in 1937 inaugurated in 1937

As of August 1, 1929, the five cities of the upper district of Solingen were merged into the new city of Solingen, the individual savings banks were combined in the same way to form the new Stadt-Sparkasse Solingen. After the reform of the savings bank, the new statutes of the Stadt-Sparkasse Solingen came into force on October 27, 1932. As a result, it was transferred to an institution under public law by the previous urban company. After the turbulence by German inflation from 1914 to 1923 and the global economic crisis from 1929, in which many savers had lost their money, the situation of the Solinger Sparkasse only stabilized again in the course of the 1930s. On July 14, 1937, the new building of the Sparkasse on the turning tree was inaugurated. During the Second World War, in 1941, the Sparkasse’s deposits exceeded the sum of 100 million marks for the first time. [3] : 115–141

On November 4 and 5, 1944, the city of Solingen was severely hit by the air raids on Solingen. The old town of Solingen was almost completely destroyed, among the destroyed buildings was the headquarters on Graf-Engelbert-Straße. After the end of the war, the business operations of the Sparkasse was therefore initially moved to the branch on the turning tree. [3] : 149

Post -war time until today [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

The city of Solingen was released by US troops on April 16, 1945, which ended the Second World War in Solingen. At the end of May 1945, the Sparkasse had to hire business for a few days before it was allowed to open again. The immediate post-war period was determined by economic stagnation, which also suffered from the Stadt-Sparkasse Solingen. Only the 1948 currency reform enabled the new economic upswing, which is associated with the post -war period today. The downtown Solingen was rebuilt on the old basic features, and the headquarters of the Sparkasse on Graf-Engelbert-Straße was also restored and received in 1949. [3] : 115–141

Sculpture Hans in hapiness With the Dukatenesel By Lies Ketterer in the courtyard of the Sparkasse

In the years from 1950, the Stadt-Sparkasse Solingen grew continuously before the 10,000 checking account was opened in 1955. On July 29, 1955, the now strongly grown financial institution laid the foundation for the new headquarters at the triangle in the immediate vicinity of the previous main area. The DM 6.3 million House of the Sparkasse was inaugurated on June 22, 1957. In addition to the Sparkasse, it also included various shops, apartments, a restaurant, a small hotel and a cinema. However, this multifunctional concept only worked for a few years, later the building complex was almost only used by the Sparkasse. In 1957 the sculpture was also built in the courtyard of the new Sparkasse building Hans in happiness with the dukat trial The well -known Solingen sculptor Lies Ketterer. [4] : 33

From the second half of the 1950s, the Stadt-Sparkasse Solingen opened other branches in the Solingen city area, including the branch in the central in 1956, in 1959 am Weyer and 1961 at Krahenhöhe. In 1962, Sparkasse’s systems were switched to electronic data processing. In addition, an elderly foundation was founded by the Sparkasse in 1962. After the incorporation of the city of Burg an der Wupper in the city of Solingen on January 1, 1975, the Sparkasse branch, which had been operated there by the Stadtsparkasse Remscheid since 1926, was taken over by Solinger Sparkasse in 1976. Further branches were opened in the 1970s on Mengenberg, on the Hasseldelle, at the Kannenhof, Mühlenplatz and on the Ohligser Markt (Grünstraße). [3] :149f.

Due to the increased use of online banking offers, the Stadt-Sparkasse Solingen found a lower use of its branches. In 2015 she put on a location strategy that some branches were merged and converted into self-service center (SB-Center). In the course of this, the branches and Merscheid as well as in autumn 2016 were converted into SB-Center. The Fronhof office followed on December 1, 2016. [5] The company wants to target young customers with the new branch S-Point Address in the Hofgarten Solingen shopping center, which was opened in November 2019. [6]

In May 2022, the two previous branches in Gräfrath and at the Krahenhöhe in May 2022 were converted into SB locations (without personnel) due to too low customer frequency. At the same time, a new digital branch is to be opened in the Ohligser Markt office, in which online consultations can be used via video chat. [7]

After it was found that the building does not have a monument value, [11] However, the Sparkasse agreed to integrate a 150 m² Max Leven Center into the future headquarters, which is supposed to devote itself to the memory of Leven as well as persecution and resistance during the time of National Socialism. The Sparkasse receives support from a newly founded support association. [11] [twelfth]
