history

The building was built for the Sparkasse of the Aplerbeck office at that time . As a result of its incorporation in Dortmund in 1929, this was transferred to the Stadtsparkasse Dortmund . During the construction phase, the designing architect Wilhelm Stricker was called up for military service in the First World War in the spring of 1915 , which is why the continuation of the building, which began in 1914, was under the direction of the building authority's assistant Jungholt from the municipal building administration. The opening took place on September 17, 1915 at the then address Chausseestraße 31.

The monument is used today by the Dortmund City and State Library , which maintains the “Aplerbeck Branch Library” here. There is also a notary's office in the building.
