German term

Sparkasse
Non-PRO
German to English
Bus/Financial
I am batteling with whether to translate Sparkasse as 'saving bank' or to leave is as 'Sparkasse' since there is a bank by the name of 'Sparkasse' in Germany.
Any suggestions?
Sample sentence:
Seit Jahren sind the Sparkassen fuehrend auf dem Sektor der Berufsausbildung.
Thanks in advance.

German savings bank
I would use German savings bank in this context. Sparkasse in Germany is not really the name but rather the type of bank. There are lots of different Sparkassen in Germany that are working more or less independent (Sparkasse Hamburg, Sparkasse Dresden...)

trustee savings bank - die Sparkasse

savings bank
For years, savings banks have had the lead in the education sector.
I would translate it, because it is a certain kind of bank - although "Sparkasse" is a name like Dresdner, Deutsche, etc., it is usually either a "Stadt", "Kreis" or whatever -sparkasse. If you had the term "Bausparkasse", you would use building societies, wouldn't you?
Hope you can follow my logic...
