About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular customer approached the teller and asked, 'Do you know why they call it Sparkasse?' The teller replied, 'No, sir.' He whispered, 'Because every time I come here, my money seems to multiply!' The teller smiled and said, ‘Ah, now I understand! It’s because your deposits always seem to grow.’ Just then, a delivery driver walked in, panting heavily, and exclaimed, “I can’t believe how much heavier these bags of coins are getting!”

2. One day, an elderly gentleman walked into Sparkasse and asked the teller, ‘Excuse me, do you keep kangaroos in your vault?’ The teller looked puzzled for a moment, then burst out laughing. 'No, sir,' she replied, 'we don't have any kangaroos here.' The old man nodded thoughtfully and said, 'Good, because I wouldn't want them jumping around my retirement savings!' Everyone in line couldn't help but smile.

3. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the Sparkasse's drive-through window and asked, 'How do I deposit these packages?' The teller replied with a straight face, ‘Just drop them off in our little blue mailbox over there.’ The delivery driver looked puzzled but saw no harm done. A few minutes later, he heard a familiar voice from behind him: ‘Hey, that’s my mailbox!’ Turns out it was just an old neighbor who thought someone had stolen his mail.

4. One Tuesday morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the Sparkasse's drive-through window and asked, ‘Excuse me, but what’s this strange box doing here?’ He pointed to a small wooden crate that had been left behind on the counter. The teller smiled and replied, 'Oh, that's our new safe deposit box for valuable documents.' The driver nodded, still puzzled, then drove off. A few days later, an elderly gentleman approached the window with a large cardboard box labeled 'SPARKASSE'. When asked what it was, he said, 'Just some old family photos—nothing important!'
