Honor in the Magic Theater: 2,245 years of loyalty at VR Bank Starnberg!

VR Bank Starnberg-Zugspitze eG recently honored its long-standing employees in a special event. The event took place in the harmonious ambience of a magic theater in Weilheim, bringing together not only those celebrating an anniversary, but also colleagues from both fusion houses who will soon be moving into retirement or semi-retirement. In his speech, CEO Thomas Vogl was visibly proud of the loyalty of the 68 people present and their contribution to the bank's success.

An impressive overall length of service2,245 yearswas celebrated that evening. Vogl emphasized how important the employees are for the adaptability of the merged bank and emphasized that good business is only possible if the team sticks together. After the awards, the magician Stefan Schmitt provided entertaining moments with his show “Magical Moments” that took the audience into another world.

Retired employees

As part of the celebrations, it was announced that VR Bank Starnberg-Zugspitze eG will be saying goodbye to a total of 14 employees in their well-deserved retirement at the end of 2025. This provides an opportunity to reflect on the valuable time that these people have invested in the bank during their professional careers. A large part of these additions will certainly live on in the memories of colleagues.

Virtual Reality has its finger on the pulse

Parallel to the awards event, there were also more and more points of contact with the topic of virtual reality (VR), which is important not only in the entertainment sector but also in training. This technology, which has seen a resurgence in recent years, enables immersive experiences through 3D displays and motion-based interactions in virtual environments. Applications can be found not only in the gaming sector, but also in medical education and safety training.

Developments in VR technology are diverse, from early devices like the Sensorama and the famous Sword of Damocles to modern headsets like Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. The opportunity to learn or rehabilitate in simulated environments opens up exciting perspectives. But at the same time, such technologies also pose challenges, such as health risks caused by motion diseases or data protection issues, which must be taken into account when using VR systems. As Wikipedia's article on virtual reality points out, the future of such technologies will be characterized by ongoing discussions and ongoing developments.

Overall, it shows that both the appreciation of long-standing employees at VR Bank and the innovative developments in VR technology have an important place in our modern world. The look to the future remains exciting and everyone involved will certainly continue to have a good knack for breaking new ground and appreciating old values.
