I regularly read that the European Central Bank charges a negative interest rate on money that banks park there. But why would a bank put their money to the Central Bank then? Can't they just keep it in their own bank and not have to pay that negative interest?

Banks are obligated to keep cash in the central bank following reserve requirements.
The reserve requirement (or cash reserve ratio) is a central bank
regulation employed by most, but not all, of the world's central
banks, that sets the minimum amount of reserves that must be held by a
commercial bank. The minimum reserve is generally determined by the
central bank to be no less than a specified percentage of the amount
of deposit liabilities the commercial bank owes to its customers.
[...]
...the higher the reserve requirement is set, the less funds banks will have available to lend out
When central bank wants to fight deflation, it will set negative interest rate, thus decreasing amount of money banks have.
In a sense, "negative interest rate" is a tax on the banks, but instead of going to the government, tax goes to central bank (taken out of circulation), which decreases total cash in the economy.
I don't understand in which conditions banks would keep more money than required by reserve requirement while paying fee for that (see Negative interest on excess reserves
)
