history

On August 1, 1786, Duke Peter Friedrich Ludwig signed the founding deed for the "Savings Fund for the Duchy of Oldenburg". The aim of the foundation was a comprehensive reorganization of the poor system, with which it should be possible for economically weaker sections of the population to build up reserves.

Since January 1, 1913, the Sparkasse has been called Landessparkasse zu Oldenburg. When LzO joined the Hanover Savings Bank Association in 1916, it became a member of the Savings Banks Finance Group . In 1937 the Sparkassenzweckverband Oldenburg was founded, to which the districts of Ammerland, Cloppenburg, Friesland, Oldenburg, Vechta, Wesermarsch and the independent cities of Oldenburg and Delmenhorst belonged as sponsors.

At its 175th anniversary in 1961, the institute had more than 370,000 accounts. In 1964, it was one of the first savings banks in Germany to introduce electronic data processing . The first ec ATM in the Oldenburger Land was put into operation in 1981 by the LzO in Oldenburg. From 1986 - in the year of its 200th anniversary - the customer self-service was expanded further by installing bank statement printers . In 1997 the first homepage of an Oldenburg credit institute went online at www.lzo.com.

At the beginning of May 2009, the headquarters moved to a newly built building at Oldenburg Central Station. Three four-story buildings, a ten-story building and an extension with a total of approx. 24,000 m² of usable space were built there for 87 million euros. Part of Maastrichter Strasse, where the new headquarters is actually located, was specially renamed so that the LzO could take its address “Berliner Platz” with it.

LzO foundations

On the occasion of its 200th birthday in 1986, the Sparkasse launched the Art and Culture Foundation of the Landessparkasse zu Oldenburg . Its purpose is to promote, maintain and preserve art and culture in all its facets, whether in the field of music, literature, museums and theater, the fine arts and right through to the preservation of local history and monuments.

The regional foundation of the Landessparkasse zu Oldenburg , established in 2006, enables citizens interested in a foundation to find a way of personal, charitable commitment. The umbrella foundation, which is dedicated to a wide range of non-profit topics, supports on the one hand by means of funds from the foundation commitments of its customers, but also through the eight LzO foundations established in 2008, which are administered under its umbrella. These foundations are committed to social projects in their respective region in the LzO business area.

criticism

On December 18, 2012, the Federal Constitutional Court decided in a specific legal control procedure that a statutory provision of the State of Lower Saxony, which privileged the LzO in enforcement , violated the principle of equality in Article 3 of the Basic Law . The decision formula was published in the Federal Law Gazette (BGBl.) I of February 6, 2013, page 162.
