Steiermärkische Sparkasse
The Steiermärkische Bank und Sparkassen AG (mostly called Steiermärkische Sparkasse for short) was founded in 1825 as "Vereinssparkasse" ("Steyermärkische Spar-Casse") and is thus the oldest financial institution in Styria. Business operations began on 15 May 1825 at the first business premises at Landhaus, Schmiedgasse No. 9. The actual founder of the Steiermärkische Sparkasse was the Emperor's personal representative and Governor in Styria: Franz von Hartig. Since 1823 he had been the Imperial and Royal Count of Styria, Governor of Styria and thus head of the Imperial and Royal Styrian "Gubernium", the country's highest political authority. In addition to his political responsibilities, he also was in a role inspired him to found a "Sparkasse" in Graz. Since 1823 he had been a member of the Association of the First Austrian "Spar-Casse" with direct insight into the beginnings of the "Sparkassen" system in Austria. As early as 1824 he had decided to found an institute of this kind in Styria as well.
