Carniolan Savings Bank

The Carniolan Savings Bank (German: Krainische Sparkasse, Slovene: Kranjska hranilnica) was a financial institution in Ljubljana, the main city of the Duchy of Carniola in the Habsburg Monarchy and present capital of Slovenia. It was first established in 1820 as the Laibacher Sparkasse (lit. 'Laibach Savings Bank', with the German name of Ljubljana in use at the time), then from 1828 Illirische Sparkasse (lit. 'Illyrian Savings Bank', following expansion of its territorial remit and with reference to ancient Illyria) and, from 1845, Krainische Sparkasse. It then formally adopted its name in Slovene in 1909; was renamed Drava Banovina Savings Bank (Serbo-Croatian: Hranilnica dravske banovine) in 1929; and became the Savings Bank of the Ljubljana Province (Italian: Cassa di Risparmio della Provincia di Lubiana, German: Sparkasse der Provinz Laibach, Slovene: Hranilnica Ljubljanske Pokrajine) from 1941 to 1945 under Italian then German occupation. Its activity was terminated in 1945 under the newly established Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
