history

Figure on the main office building

On January 2nd, 1824 , the “Sparkasse of the royal capital and residence city of Munich” opened its first business premises in the Angerviertel. This was the first time that many Munich residents had the opportunity to invest money securely and with interest for their own provision. This was particularly important as many workers and employees lived in shared accommodation.

The savings bank deposited the customer funds collected at the national debt repayment fund. In 1840 the deposits already amounted to 4.5 million guilders. When food prices rose sharply in the early 1940s and cholera broke out a few years later, the guilders deposited at the Sparkasse paid off for many. The increased withdrawals, however, led to liquidity problems, as the state debt repayment fund had used the funds deposited for the construction of the railroad and the buildings of King Ludwig. The repayment took place gradually until 1860.

From 1848 onwards, the Sparkasse used the newly created option to invest customer funds exclusively to grant loans to the city of Munich. In this way, public projects such as the construction of Maximilianstrasse , the Schrannenhalle or the sewer system were realized. From 1888, the Sparkasse also granted mortgage loans to private individuals.

In 1899 the Sparkasse moved into the first part of its current headquarters near Marienplatz . During this time, the Städtische Sparkasse also expanded its range of services: the securities business and cashless payment transactions - in the form of the check and transfer transactions developed by the savings banks - were introduced. In 1904, the establishment of the branch network began in parallel.

The great inflation of 1923 and the subsequent currency reform caused the deposits to shrink to around 220,000 Reichsmarks . A year later, representatives of savings banks from 28 countries launched World Savings Day , which reminds of the importance of financial provision.

In 1950 the Städtische Sparkasse had 24 branches. In the following years she expanded the branch network significantly. In addition, the Stadtsparkasse now also granted consumer loans . 1968–1971 all branches were converted to EDP and networked with one another. This made the institute one of the first banks in Europe to introduce IT . It has been called Stadtsparkasse München since 1972. She was also one of the pioneers in the banking industry in 1999 with self-service coin deposit machines that immediately credit the amount to the account, or in 2006 with an ATM for mobile use at major events. In 2017, the bank operated around 210 ATMs and cash recyclers, 220 self-service terminals, as well as coin deposit machines and coin changers in the Munich area. In 2004, Stadtsparkasse München became the first Bavarian savings bank to issue a Pfandbrief for refinancing on the capital market. Since then, it has placed three more Pfandbriefe on the market. In 2018 five branches were closed and some more were converted into pure machine locations; on the other hand, the range of telephone and online advice has been expanded.

building

Main office (eastern part of the building)

Stadtsparkasse owns a number of buildings in Munich, including the main office in the valley , the administrative center in Schwabing, another administrative building in Giesing, and residential and commercial buildings.

The oldest part of the main building was built by Hans Grässel from 1889 to 1899 in the neo-renaissance style. From 1906 to 1908, the city building office on Sparkassenstrasse and on the valley were built in the same style. After the Second World War, Werner Eichberg built an extension from 1956 to 1958, which continued the complex to Maderbräustraße. From 1989 to 1992, Paolo Nestler converted the inner courtyard into a glass-roofed, airy counter hall. The old counter hall was also renovated and used for customer traffic.

The administrative center in Schwabing, Ungererstraße 75 (corner of Schenkendorfstraße), was built in 1988 according to plans by Herbert Kochta .

criticism
