Need teaches saving. In response to the hunger years of 1846/47, Kempen founded a city savings bank in the town hall in 1847 - as one of the first places in the neighborhood.
The economic boom in the decade before the First World War (1914-18) was brought about by the founding of Kreissparkasse Kempen in 1910, housed in the Moorenring 11 house.

It was soon too small. On June 30, 1914, this successor building began on the corner of Donkring and Engerstrasse and - despite the war - it was put into operation on March 25, 1916: a baroque castle with numerous decorative elements. Cornucopia and a beehive above the portal encourage thrift and diligence.

Initially intended for demolition as part of the renovation of the old town, it was agreed to restore the building to its original form in 1984. The conversions and additions that had increased the retail space from 1927 to 1957 disappeared; for this, the main entrance with a flight of stairs was restored, the broken dormer windows were put back on and a new bay was added to the south side.

In October 1985, the Sparkasse began its new operations in the old building - as a branch of the Horten House on Kuhstrasse, which was renovated into a Sparkasse in 1984.
