In 1917, 28 men from Woltersdorf and the neighboring villages founded the “Spar- und Loanskasse Woltersdorf eGmbH”. In the beginning, the majority of customers worked in agriculture. The bank has adapted to structural changes in agriculture and the changed economic conditions after the Second World War . In 1976 the first merger with the savings and loan association Prezelle -Lomitz took place, as a result of which the company name was changed to the savings and loan association Woltersdorf-Prezelle eG. Two years later the bank merged with Volksbank Lübbow eG to form Volksbank Wendland eG. In the following year, the Schäfke land trade was in SchweskauBought. With the German reunification in 1989/90, development opportunities arose for the cooperative, which was previously in a rather disadvantaged area due to its border location. Numerous mergers, company acquisitions and start-ups, the development of new and the further development of existing business fields and locations within the framework of the business model of mixed economy resulted in the largest mixed-economy credit cooperative in Germany from the small village savings and loan fund.
