Summary/Abstract: In the 19th and 20th centuries the meteorological amplitudes of the “Little Ice-Age” caused serious problems in the agriculture. In Hungary too. The foundation of savings bank granaries became necessary based on European examples in Hungary too. These insured the suitable quantity of the bread crops and the seed-grain. In Hungary the Procurator Council decreed the foundation of feudal lord and communal savings bank granaries in the beginning of the 1830s. But often this was not seamless becouse the bondmen resisted the plans of the lordship.
