Sparkasse affair: Ex-boss Bromme loses 12,000 euros in pension!
Georg Bromme, the former head of the Kreissparkasse Miesbach-Tegernsee, is the focus of a heated legal dispute over his pension rights. On July 18, 2025, a hearing took place before the Higher Regional Court (OLG), but it ended without a clear result. The presiding judge Frank Tholl indicated that the lawsuit could be dismissed because the lawsuit was directed against the wrong party: According to information from Mercury the Miesbach district, with which Bromme has concluded a contract.
Bromme, who will be 77 in a few months, made a fit impression during the trial, although heavy traffic made traveling to the OLG difficult. The Kreissparkasse Miesbach had also filed a counterclaim demanding around 15,000 euros back. Bromme, who is aiming for a pension of around 12,000 euros per month, was sentenced to a suspended prison sentence of 20 months in 2023 for 30 cases of breach of trust.
The savings bank affair and its consequences
The background for the current dispute lies in the so-called savings bank affair. In 2012, Bromme planned an expensive trip to Switzerland, which cost a whopping 80,000 euros and was financed by the Sparkasse. These incidents led to the Munich regional court confirming the cancellation of Bromme's pension entitlement. Loud BR Instead, a lower state pension is due. His lawyer argued that Bromme was not part of the trip and therefore had no influence on the expenses, but the court saw it differently.
The decision on Bromme's pension rights could represent a turning point in the Sparkasse affair, which has been going on for several years. Others involved, such as the former Miesbach district administrator Jakob Kreidl, have already suffered similar setbacks with pension claims.
What's next?
A verdict is expected on July 28, 2025, and many eyes are on the outcome. The trial not only raises questions about legal claims, but also addresses deeper social aspects of dealing with misconduct in public office. Another interesting facet arises from the case of a mayor who fought against his pension entitlement before the Sigmaringen administrative court because of similar allegations - his lawsuit was largely unsuccessful. The administrative court ruled that convictions for fraud or breach of trust often mean the end of pension rights.
It remains unclear whether Bromme will ultimately appeal. It could be a tough job for the former Sparkasse boss to assert his claims and find a way out of the affair.
