Description
A road leading from the train station to the centre of Sangerhausen passes by this building. It stands at a crossroads and was placed very prominently in the direction of the station. The taller cube with four floors is decorated with two clocks in the upper area, illustrating the vertical axis of the house. The remaining cubic forms with three storeys divide the building in a horizontal plane. The entire building is cladded with ferritic clinker bricks. The way the clinkers are used is also reminiscent of Expressionism and Art Deco. For example, the borders of the windows. The main entrance in the vertical cubus leads into the bank. The entrance areas are decorated with the word "Kreissparkasse" and several sculptures referring to trade, money and banking. The entrance area still has original elements, the rest of the interior has been adapted to current needs.

History
It was a part of the town's building plans, as the Sparkasse banks are non-profit universal banks under public law in municipal ownership. We do not find many information about this building. It was probably planned in 1930, construction work ended in 1932. Until today it is used by the bank Sparkasse.
