history

In 1987 the Volksbank Hannover merged with the Volksbanken in Barsinghausen and Neustadt. In the first of two steps, Volksbank Hannover merged with Lindener Volksbank in 2003 to form Hannoversche Volksbank. In 2005 the Hannoversche Volksbank merged with the Volksbank Burgdorf-Celle and the Volksbank Garbsen and in 2019 with the Volksbank Hildesheimer Börde .

Beginnings of the Hannoversche Volksbank

The Hannoversche Volksbank is to this day the oldest private credit institute in Hanover. The history of this bank goes back to 1860. To promote agriculture, trade and commerce in what was then the Kingdom of Hanover , the heads of the guilds in Hanover founded the "Advance Association Bank of Hanover" on March 1, 1860, with its headquarters at Scholvinstrasse 17 .

In 1890 Kanalstrasse 4 (corner of Kurt-Schumacher-Strasse) became the new domicile of the advance association bank and is still the headquarters of the bank today. In the course of the incorporation of List, Vahrenwald, Herrenhausen and Döhren, the banking business and the business area grew. In connection with the effects of the global economic crisis , in 1932 the advance association bank took over the commercial bank in Hanover and the Creditbank in Hanover (founded in 1878, based in Hanover-Döhren). At the same time it changed its name to "Vereinsbank Hannover". The meeting of representatives decided in 1939 to change the name to "Volksbank Hannover".

Lindener Volksbank

The Lindener Volksbank was founded on March 27, 1890 as "Credit-Verein Linden". In 1906 the name was changed to the “Lindener Creditbank” credit association. By 1965, the bank, now trading as "Lindener Volksbank", had new branches in Limmerstrasse, in Badenstedt, Ricklingen, Empelde, Ahlem and Wettbergen. The Bad Nenndorf branch, which had existed since 1915, moved into a newly constructed building in 1964. On March 11, 1986, the Lindener Volksbank and the Calenberger Volksbank merged. The business area of ​​the Lindener Volksbank grew around the branches in Seelze and Garbsen with their districts Dedensen, Lohnde, Havelse, Harenberg, Letter, Marienwerder, Hanover-Ledeburg.

Volksbank Burgdorf-Celle

On March 31, 1897, farmers, craftsmen and tradespeople founded the savings and loan fund eGmbH in Burgdorf. Master watchmaker Heinrich Becker became the first rendant and later director of the bank. In 1925 the first branch was opened in Großburgwedel. In the years 1952 to 1975, numerous other branches were opened in the old district of Burgdorf. In 1970 the savings and loan association became the "Volksbank Burgdorf eG". In 1991 Volksbank Burgdorf merged with Volksbank Uetze (founded in 1907). In 1997, the meeting of representatives decided to merge with Volksbank Celle (founded in 1854, the second oldest Volksbank in Germany) and rename it "Volksbank Burgdorf-Celle". Volksbank Celle continues today as a branch of Hannoversche Volksbank.

Volksbank Garbsen

On October 30, 1920, the "Milling and Grinding Cooperative Behrenbostel eGmbH" was founded. In 1938 the cooperative merged with the agricultural procurement, sales and milling cooperative. Since 1959, the cooperative bank has operated as the savings and loan association Berenbostel. In 1982 the meeting of representatives decided to change the name to Volksbank Garbsen. 1987–1998 the wave of mergers rolled out: Volksbank Garbsen merged in 1987 with Volksbank Luthe (founded in 1932), which originally focused on goods business. In 1994 the merger with Volksbank Helstorf (founded in 1907) took place and the bank transferred its goods business to the Raiffeisen main cooperative . In 1998, through the merger with Volksbank Groß Munzel (founded in 1897), the business area was expanded into the town of Barsinghausen.

Volksbank Hildesheimer Börde

The Volksbank Hildesheimer Börde eG was founded in 1862 in Hoheneggelsen as the “trade association of Hoheneggelsen” by craftsmen and traders. In 1870, the “Spar- und Advance-Casse zu Hoheneggelsen” was registered as the first cooperative in the area of ​​the Hildesheim District Court. In 1978 the Volksbanken Hoheneggelsen and Hohenhameln merged to form Volksbank Hildesheimer Börde eG. In 2004 Volksbank Hildesheimer Börde eG merged with Volksbank Sarstedt eG. Other institutions that were absorbed into Volksbank Hildesheimer Börde eG are Volksbank Heinde-Sehlem eG (1998) and the associated financial association, formerly founded in Itzum , as well as the travel agencies opened in Itzum and Diekholzen in 1994/1995 .
