history

The BKK Diakonie was founded in 1903 on the initiative of the then board of the Von Bodelschwinghschen Anstalten Bethel Friedrich von Bodelschwingh . Under the name of "Betriebskrankenkasse Krankenhilfe", the employees of the von Bodelschwingh Foundation Bethel were given special medical coverage in the event of illness.

As a result of the organizational reform on January 1, 1996, the three company health insurance funds BKK Krankenhilfe Bethel, BKK Hoffnungstaler Anstalten in Lobetal and the BKK Lippische Domanial und Forstverwaltung in Bad Salzuflen merged to become BKK Bethel. The BKK Hoffnungstaler Anstalten, as the company health insurance fund of the diaconal institution of the same name in the Brandenburg town of Lobetal, also represented the first step into the new federal states . With this merger, BKK Bethel now had four offices at that time. The Freistatt and Lobetal locations still exist today. The focus of activities at the “new” BKK Bethel continued to be the diaconal idea. In order to be able to continue the development of the BKK within the Church and Diakonie, the Board of Directors decided on January 1, 1999 to open the BKK Bethel. Initially, this opening only applied to the Westphalia-Lippe, Lower Saxony and Brandenburg areas. From then on, the BKK Bethel had to face the competition in the cash sector and was able to record a continuous increase in membership thanks to its focus on employees in church and diakonia. The membership of the BKK has grown from around 6000 members in 1980 to over 20,000 members today.

Since December 1, 2002, the “Krankenkasse für Kirche und Diakonie” has taken another step to secure the company. The cooperation with the Diakonisches Werk was strengthened and expanded. The logical consequence of this agreement was the opening of the BKK to other federal states. At the same time, the name was changed to "BKK Diakonie" in order to take account of the future requirements profile.

Since then, the BKK Diakonie has been open almost nationwide (except in Thuringia and Saarland). The aim remains unchanged, the positioning as health insurance for church, diakonia and social professions.

The BKK Diakonie is open for the following federal states: Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Berlin, Brandenburg, Bremen, Hamburg, Hesse, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Lower Saxony, NRW-Rhineland, NRW-Westphalia-Lippe, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt , Schleswig-Holstein, that does not mean Saarland and Thuringia.
