Ernst Hilmer (politician)
Ernst Hilmer (also: Ernst Ludwig Hilmer ; * 1801 ; † 1862 ) was a German local politician and mayor. He is considered the founding father of the Stadtsparkasse Burgdorf .
Life
At the beginning of industrialization in the Kingdom of Hanover , Ernst Ludwig Hilmer was a member of the magistrate of Burgdorf in the 1840s . From 1849 to 1852 he was mayor of the town of Burgdorf and during these years he “closely followed the development of the savings banks ”. On October 28, 1843, he wrote a letter to the Royal Office of Burgdorf , in which he emphasized the usefulness of the savings banks and their practical application, with the note that "every city should endeavor to found one." Hilmer's letter is valid today as the oldest documented proposal to set up a savings bank in Burgdorf.
