The current main building of the Sparkasse Bodensee in Konstanz was acquired by the bank in 1997. It was built between 1888 and 1891 in the Neo-Renaissance style as the headquarters of the Konstanz Post Office of the German Imperial Postal Service. The relief heads of the "five continents" above the mezzanine windows represent the Baden Post's postal connections throughout the world; from today's perspective, they can be interpreted as symbols of colonialism. The site of the current Sparkasse building originally stood on the site of a Capuchin monastery.
