The Volksbank eG, Sulingen is a registered cooperative bank based in Sulingen in Diepholz in Lower Saxony .

history

On February 2, 1906, 80 citizens of Sulingen came together in the Louis Meyer inn for a lecture event on the subject of "Cooperative merger for the purpose of obtaining credit". The same evening the decision was made to found a commercial bank, and 30 people in attendance signed the founding statute.

In the first meeting of the board of directors and the supervisory board, innkeeper Christian Nordmeyer was elected to the renter . The bank set up a business premises in a back room of its inn, and shortly afterwards they temporarily moved into the house of master locksmith Johann Leymann on Kampstrasse.

In November 1908, the bank moved its office into the textile and grocery store of their cashiers Heinrich Bunkenburg in Lindenstraße 9 (now the office of the county Sulinger newspaper). The commercial bank was located here until 1936. Spatially cramped, they were looking for expansion options: Bunkenburg built a new building at Kampstrasse 15 and made enough space available.

Since 1939 the commercial bank has been called "Volksbank Sulingen eGmbH". After difficult war and post-war times, the reconstruction of the economy brought a strong upswing for the Volksbank as well. We were able to acquire new customers from all professions, especially from agriculture and business.

They planned to build their own bank building on Langen Strasse. The foundation stone was laid in 1951 and the counters opened to the public on September 2, 1952. In the same year the merger with the savings and loan bank Barenburg eG, founded in 1910, continued as a branch of the Volksbank until the new building in 1957 in the house of the merchant Hacht. In the following years, at the request of customers, Volksbank set up two “acceptance points” in the countryside: 1955 at Sandvoss in Scholen and 1959 at Kütemeyer in Groß Lessen . In 1965 an office was also opened in Kirchdorf.

As early as 1968 the bank rooms in Sulingen became too small. Since 1952 the balance sheet total had increased tenfold, the number of members had increased from 400 to 1,300. It was decided to build a new building opposite the previous location on Langen Strasse. The prefabricated building , built in the style of the contemporary taste, was occupied in 1968.

With the largest new building project in the history of the credit institution, Sulinger Volksbank, under the leadership of former bank director Reinhard Schulze, set the course for the future at the end of the 1990s: In March 2001 - after around 22 months of construction - the new main office building in Sulingen on the site of former Sulingen town mill.
