List of savings banks in Austria

The Sparkasse Korneuburg AG is a Lower Austrian banking company based in Korneuburg and part of the savings bank group in Austria . It was created in 1869 as a community savings bank. The Sparkasse is a member of the cooperation and liability association of the Austrian savings banks and the Austrian savings bank association .

Founding history

Since the decree of the district office calling for the establishment of savings banks in 1820, the efforts of the Lower Austrian Lieutenancy were unsuccessful until 1859. Around 1865 the municipality of Korneuburg oriented itself financially strongly towards the Sparkasse Hollabrunn . In mid-October 1868, after a renewed suggestion, a founding committee was formed. A month later, the decision was made to found a community savings bank and to assume liability for 4,000 guilders through the community . At the beginning of December, the municipal council approved the statutes and the rules of procedure. After the Lieutenancy's approval in principle of the establishment in mid-May 1869, the statutes were confirmed in early July. At the end of July 1869 it was finally possible to open.

Structural development of the main institute

When it was founded, the savings bank was on the first floor of the town hall (town hall), and in 1876 the mayor's office was added. The Sparkasse has not had to pay any interest since 1879. At the same time as the decision to build a new town hall in 1893, the administration of the city was separated from that of the Sparkasse. Since the beginning of December 1895, the location of the Sparkasse has been on the first floor of the new town hall . In 1919 the savings bank was supposed to be relocated, but neither a suitable house nor a restaurant could be found. In November 1928 negotiations began to buy their own house at Hauptplatz 28, and in time for the 60th anniversary in 1929, the Sparkasse was able to move in after a complete renovation. Destruction from the Second World War made it necessary to renovate the facade in 1948. In 1959 the whole main facility was rebuilt. In 1976/77 there was an extension, in 1981 and 2001/02 modernization changes. The building took on its current appearance in 2007/08. Customer requirements for discreet consultation areas, a necessary expansion of the back office area and increased security requirements made it necessary to convert or expand the top floor.

Foundation, endowment

With a resolution dated June 3, 2008, the board of directors of the former Sparkasse der Stadt Korneuburg decided to transfer the banking operations to Sparkasse Korneuburg AG. This resolution was approved unanimously by the Savings Banks Council on June 4, 2008 and the required approval of the Korneuburg municipal council was also unanimously granted on July 21, 2008. Sparkasse Korneuburg AG was entered in the commercial register on August 30, 2008 under number FN315215 b. From this point on, the operational business was carried out at Sparkasse Korneuburg AG. The remaining share management savings bank, which holds the shares in Sparkasse Korneuburg AG, was brought into the Sparkasse Korneuburg private foundation.
