history

precursor

Volksbank Dorsten eG

On January 27, 1897, the cooperative was entered in the cooperative register for the first time under the name "Gewerbebank, registered cooperative with limited liability with its seat in Dorsten". Hermann Krebs, Bernhard Wieking and Franz Rodeck were the bank's first board members. The turn of the year 1923/24 brought the first change in the structure of the cooperatives. The “Gewerbebank eGmbH” was changed into the “Spar- und Loanhenskasse eGmbH”. The increasing importance of the districts of Holsterhausen and Hervest-Dorsten, based on coal mining, led to the opening of branches in both districts in 1954 and 1956.

In 1997 Volksbank Dorsten eG celebrated its centenary. As a gift to the population, Volksbank Dorsten restored the historic old town hall on the market square.

The merger with Volksbank Wulfen in 2003 represents a significant change in the recent past. In addition to the main branch in Wulfen , the branches Barkenberg and Deuten were added.

Volksbank Kirchhellen eG Bottrop

The foundation stone for Volksbank Kirchhellen eG was laid on December 27, 1888 by 24 Bottrop citizens with the establishment of the Bottrop savings and loan association with unlimited liability. Franz Storb was the first chairman and the first banking transactions were carried out in Haus Jansen, Am Altmarkt 7. In 1926, the new bank building at Kirchhellener Strasse 10 moved into. This bank building, which was listed as a historical monument in 1992, is now the premises of the "Old Stock Exchange". In 1971 the foundation stone of the new savings and loan bank in Bottrop, Kirchhellener, was laid Street 6-8. The bank building was occupied in 1974. In 1973 the savings and loan fund Bottrop was renamed Volksbank eG, Bottrop.

On January 20, 1889, 42 citizens from all walks of life founded the Kirchhellen savings and loan association, a registered cooperative. The farmer Johannes Breuker, the co-founder of the farmers' association, played a key role in this. In 1973 the savings and loan association Kirchhellen was renamed Volksbank Kirchhellen eG. In 1989 the Volksbank Kirchhellen eG building was rebuilt at Johann-Breuker-Platz 6 in Bottrop-Kirchhellen.

In 1990 Volksbank Kirchhellen eG and Volksbank eG, Bottrop merged to form Volksbank Kirchhellen eG. Between 2000 and 2003 the historical reconstruction of the "Alte Börse" building was carried out taking into account the old structure. With the renovation, additional office and event rooms were created. In 2007, the Volksbank's competence center at Kirchhellener Strasse 6-8 in Bottrop was completely renovated. The redesigned customer hall on the ground floor was opened on July 16, 2007.
