history

Excerpt from the Dornbirner Gemeindeblatt from November 19, 1911: “Today on the day of healing. Martinus, our city patron, we hand over this house to the traffic. May God's blessings rule on him, may the virtue of thrift and industry to which we owe this house never forsake us. The small investors made the Dornbirner Sparkasse big, the same class of people should also primarily serve the funds of the Sparkasse. We always want to adhere to this principle. "

The history of the Dornbirner Sparkasse goes back to the year 1822, when the Provincial Government of Tyrol sent out a recommendation to all district offices subordinate to it. In 1852 the commission for the poor presented the community committee for the first time with the "Basic features of the drafting of a health care and savings bank institution", which, like the submissions of the following years, were rejected. On January 9, 1866, the Dornbirn Lieutenancy approved the statutes. The Dornbirner Sparkasse began operations on November 2, 1867 in the old town hall. Less than 50 years later, due to the willingness to save on the part of the people of Dornbirn, the offices became too small. The Sparkasse moved to the other end of the market square, to Sparkassenplatz 1 (formerly Bahnhofstrasse 2), where it still has its headquarters today.

Historic central building

For the 1910/11 building, planned by the architects Braun & Lukesch and by the company JA Fußenegger, spring tuff was used at least for the foundation walls and the ground floor , which gave the facade its distinctive exterior. While the residential and commercial buildings built in the immediate vicinity in the same years still rely heavily on Art Nouveau elements, Braun relied on the functional lines that go with a bank building. Since the inauguration on November 11, 1911, the building on Sparkassenplatz has marked the transition from Dornbirn's market square to Bahnhofstrasse.

The building underwent its first renovation between 1948 and 1953. Under the direction of architect Hugo Wank, the entrance was relocated and the counter expanded. Since then, a sculpture made of shell limestone by Hans Bruckgschwenter from Innsbruck has adorned the main entrance. For Bruckgschwenter, winner of the specially advertised sculptor's competition, the “young, strong man with the bundle of files should represent the healthy, lively business of the Sparkasse. The growing grain with the heavy ears symbolizes the down-to-earth company that brings rich fruit for the whole country. ” The coat of arms of the city of Dornbirn is on the base

Between 1993 and 1995 the architects Much Untertrifaller Senior and Junior renovated the old building and adapted the extension along Schulgasse. With the addition in the direction of Bahnhofstrasse in 2003 by architect Wolfgang Ritsch, the building complex of the Dornbirner Sparkasse received its present appearance.
