The birth of Raiffeisen in Hausen
Raiffeisen was founded in Hausen in 1921 by the committed citizen Johann Meier. The latter was convinced that a cooperative bank was urgently needed in the community to improve the economic situation of the people. With a small group of like-minded people, he began to realize the idea of a Raiffeisen bank in Hausen.
In the early years, it was not easy to convince the population of the need for a cooperative bank. But through the commitment of Johann Meier and his comrades-in-arms, more and more people recognized the advantages of such a bank. The number of members grew quickly and the bank was able to expand. Soon, Raiffeisenbank in Hausen was a mainstay of the local economy and helped many people manage their financial needs.
Today, 100 years later, Raiffeisen in Hausen is one of the most important financial institutions in the region. The bank has constantly evolved over the years and today offers a wide range of services and products. Nevertheless, the cooperative idea is still at the heart of everything the company does. The bank is firmly anchored in the community and actively committed to the welfare of local people.

Success and growth: 100 years of Raiffeisen in Hausen
The history of Raiffeisen in Hausen begins one hundred years ago. During this time, the cooperative bank has not only undergone impressive development, but has also achieved sustained success.
In the beginning, only a few members joined forces to invest their money safely and profitably together. But over time, the number of members grew steadily. Today, Raiffeisenbank Hausen is one of the largest and most successful cooperative banks in the country.
One important reason for Raiffeisen’s success in Hausen is its close ties to the region and its people. The bank knows the needs and challenges of its customers and offers customized solutions. The wide range of financial products and services also contributes to its growth and success.
But economic success is not the only focus of Raiffeisen in Hausen. The bank is also committed to promoting culture, education and social projects in the region. In this way, it contributes not only to economic growth, but also to social growth.

Resistance and challenges during the introduction of the Raiffeisen system in Hausen 100 years ago
100 years ago, in 1921, the Raiffeisen system was introduced in Hausen. But the introduction of this system was not without resistance and challenges. One of the biggest challenges was getting farmers to accept the system. Many were skeptical and had concerns about whether the system would meet their needs. But over time, the Raiffeisen system has been able to convince and establish itself as a valuable partner for agriculture.
Financing was also a challenge. The founding of the Raiffeisen bank in Hausen required a large amount of start-up capital, which was divided among the farmers. Not everyone was willing to invest their money in a new system, and there were also critics who felt the system was too risky. Nevertheless, Raiffeisenbank was able to be founded and successfully hold its own on the market.
Another obstacle to the introduction of the Raiffeisen system was the lack of infrastructure. There were still no suitable warehouses to safely store and manage agricultural products. But even this problem could be solved by the farmers investing together and building warehouses.
- The challenges of introducing the Raiffeisen system in Hausen in 1921 were:
- skeptical attitude of the farmers
- Financial challenges when Raiffeisenbank was founded
- Lack of infrastructure such as suitable warehouses
Overall, the introduction of the Raiffeisen system in Hausen 100 years ago shows that change often comes with resistance and challenges. But with courage and perseverance, even large projects can be successfully implemented.
Future and progress in the context of 100 years of Raiffeisen in Hausen
In 2020, the Hausen Raiffeisen Cooperative celebrated its 100th anniversary. A proud anniversary that shows how important the cooperative idea still is today. The future is a central issue: How can the cooperative remain successful in the next 100 years?? How can it meet the challenges of digitalization and climate change?
One way is to make progress through innovation. The cooperative has already introduced numerous modern technologies such as online banking or digital advisory services. But there is potential for innovation in other areas as well. A sustainable energy supply, for example, could make the cooperative even more independent of external partners and at the same time contribute to climate protection.
- However, innovations are also associated with challenges. Not every step into the unknown is successful – but without risk there can be no progress.
- In order to shape the future successfully, the cooperation within the cooperative must also be right. Open communication, the willingness to cooperate and the bundling of competencies are important factors for success.
100 years of Raiffeisengenossenschaft Hausen show that the cooperative idea can be a sustainable basis for economic activity. Together, challenges can be overcome – whether through innovation or collaboration within the cooperative. Going forward, the cooperative idea will continue to play an important role in meeting the demands of a changing world.
