history

founding

The institute was founded on September 5, 1863. The reason for this was the pressing credit problem at the time. That is why the boards of the civil society and the trade association in Ulm called a citizens' meeting on May 30th. A few weeks later, at the founding meeting on August 22nd, it was decided to found the Gewerbebank zu Ulm . The new bank opened its doors on October 1st. Since the bank developed very well in the first 25 years, the central bank Württembergischer Volksbanken was founded in 1898 under the influence of the commercial bank as the first central bank in the commercial cooperative sector. The positive development continued in the following years, so that in 1905 the bank posted sales of 205 million marks. In 1905 the new building, which is still the company's headquarters today, was inaugurated and moved into.

Merger with the Ravensburg commercial bank

In 1908, the Ulm commercial bank merged with the Ravensburg commercial bank. In 1913, the Ulm commercial bank celebrated its 50th anniversary. The bank now had over 2,251 members and total assets of 17.4 million marks. This made it the largest bank in Ulm.

Second World War

During the Second World War, the Hirschstrasse branch was destroyed, as was almost the entire city center of Ulm. The head office was the only bank building in Ulm to remain intact.

Expansion of the business area

In the fifties and sixties, further branches were established inside and outside the city area. For example in 1956 in Söflingen and in the new district on Eselsberg, in January 1957 in the Blautal community of Klingenstein, in 1959 in the Ulm suburb of Wiblingen, in 1961 in Böfingen and the Dietenheim branch for customers in the Württemberg part of the Illertal. In 1959 the bank set up branches in Senden-Ay and Langenau. In 1960, the Neu-Ulm office was set up to supply members and customers in Neu-Ulm, which was later followed by branches in Offenhausen and Pfuhl. Mergers followed:

  • 1959 Volksbank Illertissen
  • 1971 Raiffeisenbank Ulm-Grimmelfingen
  • 1972 Volksbank Quantities
  • 1976 Small credit bank for Ulm and Upper Swabia
  • 1986 Raiffeisenbank Illertissen
  • 1987 Wiblinger Bank
  • 1994 Raiffeisenbank Jungingen
  • 1997 Raiffeisenbank Ulm-Süd

In 1983 Volksbank Ulm installed the first ATM in the center. In 1990, the Ulmer Volksbank was the first Ulm bank to introduce electronic cash to the Ulm retail trade. In 1993 the Junge Ulmer Volksbank was founded.
