Raiffeisenkasse Kinheim

Beschreibung

This building was constructed in 1939 as a warehouse and office building for the Kinheim Raiffeisenkasse. This co-operative bank had been founded in 1918 and had merged with the Kinheimer Spar- und Darlehenskassen-Verein, founded in 1897 by 16 members, in 1938, one year before the building was constructed. In 1950, the threshing co-operative was also affiliated to the bank. 

On its fortieth anniversary in 1958, Raiffeisenkasse Kinheim had 184 members. Around DM 12 million had been realised since the currency reform, and around 230 wagons of goods arrived in Kinheim every year to supply the winegrowers with agricultural materials. 

Economic difficulties made it necessary for the bank to merge with Raiffeisenbank Kröv in 1973. The Kinheim branch, which had been located in the tourist information building since around 1982, was closed on 30 June 2003.
