history

The history of the Sparkasse Werra-Meißner goes back to the establishment of the Stadtsparkasse zu Eschwege on July 1, 1844. In 1872 it was decided to dissolve the Stadtsparkasse and transfer it to the Kreissparkasse zu Eschwege, which started its business on April 1, 1873.

After the old districts of Witzenhausen and Eschwege were merged to form the Werra-Meißner district, the Eschwege and Witzenhausen district savings banks also merged to form the Werra-Meißner savings bank on January 1, 1991.

In 1994 the bank celebrated its 150th birthday and carried out a comprehensive renovation of the main office in Friedrich-Wilhelm-Straße.

In 2013 the main office will be expanded and the administration will now also be located in Friedrich-Wilhelm-Straße.

In spring 2019, an employee of the private banking department of the Sparkasse Werra-Meißner was charged by the Kassel public prosecutor's office with fraud, breach of trust and forgery of documents. The employee is said to have embezzled customer funds over a longer period of time, mainly in 2018, and thus damaged a handful of customers by around one million euros. The bank and the public prosecutor's office are investigating whether other customers were harmed and whether other employees were involved in the alleged fraud. Sparkasse Werra-Meißner dismissed the employee without notice and commissioned an external auditing company to deal with the case.

On July 1, 2019, the Sparkasse Werra-Meißner celebrates its 175th anniversary.
