Pension dispute: Ex-Sparkasse boss Bromme loses in court!

Pension dispute: Ex-Sparkasse boss Bromme loses in court!

The former head of the Kreissparkasse Miesbach-Tegernsee, Georg Bromme, is currently involved in a controversial legal dispute over his pension payments. A hearing took place before the Higher Regional Court (OLG) on July 17, 2025, but ended without a result. How Mercury reported, the presiding judge Frank Tholl indicated that the lawsuit should be dismissed because the Kreissparkasse is considered the wrong defendant. Bromme's pension claims are actually the responsibility of the Miesbach district, with which he had concluded a contract.

Bromme, who will soon be 77, is under pressure from a current situation in which he only demands a pension of around 12,000 euros per month. However, from March 2023 this was reduced to a level comparable to pension payments, which resulted in the savings bank repaying around 15,000 euros. The savings bank filed a counterclaim after learning of Bromme's criminal conviction.

Complaint and criminal conviction

Georg Bromme was sentenced to 20 months' probation for breach of trust in 30 cases. The allegations included gifts and expensive outings for local politicians that took place while he was in office. This conviction was legally confirmed at the beginning of 2023, which contributes significantly to the current situation. His successor Martin Mihalovits asked for a written verdict during the trial, while Bromme himself did not comment on the allegations.

In addition to the discussion about pension payments, the topic of preventing corruption in the public service is once again in focus. According to Section 77 of the Federal Civil Servants Act, civil servants are not allowed to accept any benefits and violations of this ban are considered official misconduct. Public trust in the impartiality of the administration can only be guaranteed in this way Haufe explained.

Consequences for those responsible

The matter does not only concern Bromme. Jakob Kreidl, the former district administrator of Miesbach, is also struggling with similar problems. He lost part of his pension after being convicted of breach of trust. His pension entitlements were recently completely canceled by the Munich Administrative Court. While he continues to receive over 4,000 euros per month as a member of the state parliament, the financial consequences of his conviction are not without impact.

The incidents surrounding Georg Bromme and Jakob Kreidl clearly show that it is also essential to strictly combat corruption in public administration. The progress of the trial is eagerly awaited, the verdict is due to be handed down on July 28, 2025, and the local population is looking forward to what decisive things could be initiated there, and how South Germans reported.
