The Wiener Neustadt savings bank is a bank company based in Wiener Neustadt and a member of the Cooperation and Joint Liability of the Austrian savings banks and the Austrian Savings Banks Association . Founded in 1860, Wiener Neustädter Sparkasse is today the market leader in the region and with 226 employees also one of the largest employers in the city and district of Wiener Neustadt. Wiener Neustädter Sparkasse has more than 58,000 customers and 80% of the almost 3,000 commercial customers belong to the small and medium-sized business segment .
history
The city of Wiener Neustadt, founded at the end of the 12th century, experienced an era of economic boom in the middle of the 19th century after a devastating city fire in 1834. The city had been connected to Vienna by its own shipping canal since 1803 and by the southern railway from 1841 . From 1854, the completion of the Semmering Railway also gave rise to a rail link with the southern crown lands of the monarchy. This promoted industrial settlements, such as the Wiener Neustädter Lokomotivfabrik , and the influx of workers from other regions. Wiener Neustadt also became an important school town. Shortly after the founding of the Sparkasse, the city received its own statute, which enabled the city to manage autonomously from the provincial governor, as the governor was then called. With almost 20,000 inhabitants, it was the largest city in what is now Lower Austria at the time . At the beginning of the 1860s, the demolition of the city walls began, in place of the walls and the wide city moat, a ring road was built, similar to Vienna, with magnificent buildings in the style of the time: schools, the district court and the hospital. The Sparkasse should prove itself here as a builder and co-financer. As early as 1827, the association of the First Austrian Spar-Casse opened a limited partnership, a kind of branch , in Wiener Neustadt . This was the only credit institute in the district under the Vienna Woods. There, even less wealthy strata of the population could invest their savings safely and with interest with documentation in a savings account. Until then, the poorer people had hardly built up reserves for uncertain times and could only be encouraged to save by founding the savings banks. Once again, only the richer citizens had access to the private banks in Vienna, and no savings transactions were made there either. This limited company closed its doors again in 1843, so that the call for the establishment of its own savings bank was loud. Between 1842 and 1860, nine savings banks were founded in Lower Austria, none of which were located in the district under the Vienna Woods .
founding
The official founding day of Wiener Neustädter Sparkasse is March 25th, 1860, business operations began on July 4th of this year. When it became apparent around 1840 that the limited partnership of Erste Österreichische Spar-Casse, which had existed since 1827, would cease operations, its honorary curator, Wilhelm von Sonnleithner , suggested the establishment of its own savings bank. But that was still very difficult in those years, even when this was recommended by the provincial governors from 1853. The decisive question was whether the township or an association of benefactors should act as the founder and raise the necessary start-up capital. It was not until 1858 that a founding association was agreed. The preparatory committee was able to draw up statutes that were approved by the Ministry of the Interior . The 67 people on this committee donated the majority of the start-up capital of 6,680 guilders (which corresponds to around 68,000 euros today) to the Sparkasse. The founders were some nobles , mostly entrepreneurs, lawyers and clergymen. In these first statutes you can read:
"The purpose of the Sparkasse zu Wiener Neustadt is to offer the public in general, and in particular the less well-funded part of it, the opportunity to safely store, earn interest and gradually increase small savings, and thereby to awaken and maintain the spirit of work."
The model of this foundation has essentially not changed until today. Wiener Neustädter Sparkasse has remained an association savings bank , which means it is ownerless. The profits are not paid out to the owners, but remain in the Sparkasse. At its head was and is a savings bank association, which entrusted a committee and a management (today the savings bank council and board) with the management of the business. From the beginning, the Sparkasse was obliged to use part of its surplus for charitable purposes. The security of the deposits was also ensured by a strict state supervision, which is particularly exercised by the district captain as sovereign commissioner (today state commissioner ).
In 2011 the Stadtsparkasse Traiskirchen merged with the Wiener Neustädter Sparkasse.
Charitable Activities
In line with the common good-oriented founding concept, the Wiener Neustädter Sparkasse annually flows around 150,000 euros into the region in the form of donations, sponsorships and partnerships.
