history
Foundation and development
In the middle of the 19th century, savings banks had already been founded in numerous German cities. In Zeulenroda, however, there was still no such facility. Mayor Johann Gottlieb Stemler wrote in February 1851: "... to this day we still have no institution that helps the poor to take advice on what little they have; which gives him the penny he can spare, safely picks up. " In addition to the mayor, numerous citizens advocated the establishment of a savings bank. On April 20, 1851, the government in Greiz confirmed the statutes of a savings bank drafted by the Zeulenroda city council . The opening took place on July 14, 1851 in the business premises in the Lower Neustadt. Stemler became the first chairman, and Wilhelm Roth became the city treasurer's first cashier . According to § 1 of the Articles of purpose consisting Sparcasse to Zeulenroda is "to create impecunious residents, especially children, companions and servants, be given the opportunity small savings safely and interest and the same by cheer to ever greater austerity."
Savings banks were gradually founded in the surrounding towns, for example in Pausa in 1864 , in Auma in 1882 and in Triebes in 1905 .
In 1855 the Sparkasse kept 415 savings bank books, in 1870 there were already 1,511. By 1895 the number had grown to 5,519. In March 1880, the Sparkasse moved into the new business premises in the town hall , which remained the headquarters of the Sparkasse until 1993. In 1887 the savings bank became an independent legal entity with the mayor as the savings bank director. Several changes to the statute limited the direct influence of the city on the business of the savings bank in the following years. According to the statute of 1898, the mayor was no longer head of the savings bank. In 1910 a board of directors was formed.
Wars, hyperinflation and currency reforms
In 1919 the city council rejected the state government's request to transfer the Sparkasse Zeulenroda to the Landessparkasse. The hyperinflation at the beginning of the 1920s also destroyed the assets of the Zeulenroda savers and their trust in the credit institution. At the end of 1923, the Sparkasse had just eight accounts. Over the years the savings bank recovered, check and giro transactions were introduced, and deposits increased again. In an advertisement from 1932, the Städtische Spar- und Giokasse Zeulenroda offered, among other things, the acceptance of savings deposits , the free issue of home savings boxes , the granting of mortgages , the trading and administration of securities and advice on the conclusion of building loan contracts for the public building society . In 1936, when the Thuringian model statutes for savings banks were changed, the city council's supervision of the savings bank was ended and handed over to the Ministry of the Interior . After the end of the Second World War , the savings bank was closed. The opening of the newly founded Sparkasse as a municipal institution took place on August 29, 1945 according to order 01/45 of the Soviet military administration in Germany of July 23, 1945. In 1946 the Sparkasse became a member of the new Thuringian Savings Bank Association. In June 1948, as part of the currency reform , the accounts of the German Central Bank were converted to Deutsche Mark .
The Kreissparkasse Zeulenroda at the time of the GDR
On December 5, 1950, the city of Zeulenroda approved the merger of the Stadtsparkasse with the Stadt- und Kreissparkasse Greiz . Two years later, with the administrative reform in the GDR and the formation of the Zeulenroda district, it became independent again as one of 200 savings banks in the GDR . It was firmly integrated into the central administrative system of the GDR. A dense network of branches and agencies should make saving easier for citizens. The Sparkasse maintained branches with different statuses in Auma , Pausa , Triebes , Hohenleuben , Pöllwitz , Bernsgrün , Langenwolschendorf , Niederböhmersdorf , Staitz , Mehla , Pahren , Ranspach , Weißendorf and other places. In 1961 Helmut Schuster became director of the savings bank. In 1966, the branch network was thinned out with the closure of many agencies. In 1972 the company switched to electronic data processing . The year 1990 brought decisive changes with the monetary, economic and social union , the associated conversion from Mark of the GDR to D-Mark and the now market economy framework. The closing balance of June 30, 1990 showed total assets of 508,140,022.94 marks for the GDR, while the opening balance for the monetary union of July 1, 1990 showed total assets of DM 333,663,801.80.
Post-reunification and merger
In the period after the fall of the Wall and the reunification of Germany , new business areas were opened up, the workforce was increased significantly, the branches were rebuilt and the security technology upgraded. As a result of the opening of new bank branches ( German bank and Schmidt Bank ) in Zeulenroda also intensified the competition . On April 1, 1992, the city of Pausa moved from the Thuringian district of Zeulenroda to the Saxon district of Plauen . For a transitional period, the office in Pausa stayed with Kreissparkasse Zeulenroda before it was transferred to Stadt- und Kreissparkasse Plauen . On May 10, 1993, the Sparkasse moved into the new four-story building on Schopperstrasse, which had become necessary due to the increased space requirements, and which housed the main office, the credit department and most of the staff and operations departments. Most recently, Kreissparkasse Zeulenroda was headed by Helmut Schuster as chairman of the board and Friedrich Schickler as board member. The chairwoman of the board of directors was District Administrator Martina Schweinsburg . On March 1, 1994, the Zeulenrodaer Sparkasse merged with the Kreissparkasse Greiz to form the Kreissparkasse Greiz-Zeulenroda, which in turn merged into the new Sparkasse Gera-Greiz a year later .
