The State Savings was created by law in 1856.

During the German occupation (from 1942 to 1944) the former railwaystation of Hollerich was the point of departure of numerous young people forcefully enroled in the German army and of 4000 people that were forcefully “resettled” in Eastern parts of Germany for political reasons, loosing all their belongings in Luxembourg.

Only a modest bronze plaque fixed to the right wing of the present headquarters building of the State Savings bank (BCEE) in Luxembourg City reminds of General Omar Bradley’s former Headquarters.

From August 1940 on, the Gestapo had installed their headquarters on these premises.

The Vauban Towers are named after the medieval constructions they replaced: the Eich Gate and the Bons Malades Gate.
