Post office

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A postal check office (abbreviated PSchA , plural: Postscheckämter / PSchÄ ) has kept the accounts of the participants in postal check traffic in an assigned region in Germany since 1909 . A post office savings bank must be distinguished from this . Postal check offices usually covered a larger economic area and were referred to as postal giro office from 1984 onwards .

In 1989, as part of the first postal reform, they merged with the postal savings bank offices in the new state-owned company Deutsche Bundespost Postbank . This in turn was privatized as Deutsche Postbank AG in 1994 due to the second postal reform of 1994, the Postal Structure Act, which existed until 2018 when it became the Deutsche Bank brand .

Postal checks

With the establishment of postal checks on January 1, 1909, 13 postal check offices started operations: Berlin , Breslau , Danzig , Frankfurt am Main , Hamburg , Hanover , Karlsruhe (Baden), Cologne , Leipzig , Munich , Nuremberg , Ludwigshafen (Rhine) and Stuttgart . On April 1, 1916, Königsberg (Prussia) was added. As a replacement for the postal check office of the Free City of Danzig , one was opened in Szczecin on October 1, 1919 .

Due to the large volume of traffic in 1920, the post office giro institutions were eating , Erfurt and Dresden , and in 1921 Magdeburg and Dortmund added, after the Saar plebiscite finally in 1935 still Saarbrücken and 1938, the post office to Vienna . In the course of the Second World War , the post office checkpoints Aussig , Danzig, Luxembourg and Strasbourg (Alsace) were incorporated.

After the collapse of the German Reich , a postal check office was set up in the French occupation zone in Freiburg im Breisgau in 1946 and one in Reutlingen in 1947 . The one in Reutlingen was merged with the Stuttgart Post Office as early as 1950, as was the one in Freiburg im Breisgau with the Karlsruhe Post Office in 1952.

In 1953 the young Federal Republic of Germany had post office check offices in Dortmund, Essen, Frankfurt am Main, Hamburg, Hanover, Karlsruhe (Baden), Cologne, Ludwigshafen, Munich, Nuremberg and Stuttgart. In addition, there was the Postscheckamt Berlin West and, after the reorganization of the Saarland on January 1, 1957, the Postscheckamt Saarbrücken.

In the German Democratic Republic, there were postal check offices in Berlin (East) , Dresden, Erfurt, Leipzig and Schwerin (Mecklenburg), completely separate from those in the Federal Republic.

In West Berlin , the electronic booking procedure was introduced in 1972 in the new Postscheckamt Berlin West on Halleschen Ufer.
