history

ÖSA Insurance was founded in 1991 by a resolution of the state parliament. They build on a tradition that goes back more than 300 years: Magdeburg is the second oldest public insurance location in Germany. In 1685, councilors from Magdeburg created the “General-Feur-Cassa in the city of Magdeburg” based on the model of the Hamburger Feuerkasse, which had been founded nine years earlier. Other forerunners in the region were the Land-Feuersozietät of the Province of Saxony, the Anhaltische Landesbrandkasse and the Life Insurance Institution of Saxony-Thuringia-Anhalt. In addition to their duties as an insurer, they promoted the development of the fire service in their areas with grants for equipment purchases and payment of extinguishing premiums after fires.
