history

Today's Sparkasse Offenburg / Ortenau was founded on December 26, 1836 in Oppenau . In the years 1836 to 1840, there was a first wave of Sparkasse foundations in Ortenau. The formerly independent savings banks, which are now part of the Sparkasse Offenburg / Ortenau association, also founded the Spar- und Kreditanstalt Achern, the Sparkasse der Stadt Offenburg and the Sparkasse der Stadt Lahr. Ultimately, three major mergers led to the creation of today's Sparkasse Offenburg / Ortenau:

The Sparkasse Renchtal and the District Savings Bank Offenburg founded the Sparkasse Offenburg-Oberkirch in 1992. The Bezirkssparkasse Achern and the Sparkasse Offenburg-Oberkirch merged in 1994 to form the Sparkasse Offenburg / Ortenau. The Sparkasse Lahr-Ettenheim merged with the Sparkasse Offenburg / Ortenau in 2001. In 2012 the Sparkasse Offenburg / Ortenau celebrated its 175th anniversary.
