Sparkasse Oberland chooses the best projects for sustainability!
On November 7th, 2025, the atmosphere in Sparkasse Oberland was something very special. The reason: the awarding of the Sustainability Prize, which went to outstanding sustainable and social initiatives for the second time. A total of an ambitious 20,000 euros was distributed, with the amounts varying between 1,000 and 4,000 euros reports the Mercury.
The period for submitting projects was from July 15th to August 29th, giving many non-profit organizations and associations from the Weilheim-Schongau and Garmisch-Partenkirchen districts the opportunity to present their ideas. Of 32 applications submitted, 29 met the eligibility requirements. An exciting voting via Instagram, which ran for two weeks from September 15th, finally decided which ten projects should be honored.

After the award ceremony, a standing reception took place where representatives of the award-winning projects had the opportunity to exchange ideas and gather inspiration. Such events not only promote cooperation, but also a sense of community in the region.
With this initiative, Sparkasse Oberland shows how important social responsibility and sustainable projects are. A good step in the right direction that promotes both environmental protection and social commitment. We can only hope that these positive examples find many imitators!
