World Savings Day in Rottweil: Strengthen savings awareness despite inflation!

World Savings Day will be celebrated in Rottweil on October 29, 2025, and has been for over 100 years. The local banks, including Volksbank Rottweil and Kreissparkasse Rottweil, are pleased with the population's high level of savings awareness. This topic is particularly timely as inflation and the rising cost of living pose financial challenges for many people. A look at the balance sheets of these institutions reveals that interest in saving and financial provision continues to grow.

Armin Aigeldinger, head of the private customer bank at Volksbank Rottweil, has found that although there is a strong awareness of saving, the opportunities to do so depend heavily on income. “The range is large, but the basic attitude is right,” says Aigeldinger. The Federal Association of German Volks- und Raiffeisenbanken (BVR) emphasizes that the savings rate in Germany remains stable, especially among young people, who often have to make do with limited financial resources. However, the current savings volume of young adults, especially those aged 14 to 29, still leaves room for improvement - there is a need for action here.

World Savings Day: An important event

World Savings Day, which is in its 101st year this year, offers a welcome opportunity to deal with the topic of money. The two Rottweiler banks are using this promotional period to give children and young people small gifts and get them excited about saving. “Opening the money box is a very special experience for many children,” explains Aigeldinger. World Savings Day is therefore not only a day for saving, but also a reminder of the responsible use of money and the importance of financial education.

The Kreissparkasse Rottweil emphasizes that the changes in citizens' savings behavior can clearly be observed. While classic forms of savings such as savings accounts are used less, investments in funds and securities are becoming more and more important. Thanks to a wide range of investment forms, the Rottweiler banks can offer their customers a wide range of options for building wealth. Cooperative banks also offer tailor-made advice in the area of ​​financial education in order to provide their customers with the best possible support.

Financial literacy and investment opportunities

The growing interest in stocks and funds indicates an increasing focus on returns. Marija Kolak, President of the BVR, emphasizes that young people in particular can benefit from the opportunity to expand their financial knowledge through qualified advice and suitable support instruments. These measures are particularly important to help parents and people with low incomes in times of high living costs and to improve their own financial situation in the long term.

In summary, World Savings Day in Rottweil not only serves to raise awareness of savings and forms of investment, but also provides a platform for thinking about smart financial decisions. The path to a secure financial foundation is challenging, but with a good hand, appropriate advice and knowledge of the various options, it becomes easier for many to secure personal prosperity in the long term.
