history
In 1903 the parent company of today's HDI-Versicherungen was founded in Frankfurt am Main as the "liability association of the German iron and steel industry" . From 1907 he also accepted professional associations and their companies from outside the field as members. In 1936 he renamed himself "Liability Association of German Industry". In 1970 he merged with the “Fire Damage Association Rhenish-Westphalian Collieries”, their liability and property insurance complement each other. As early as 1919, the association's headquarters were relocated from Frankfurt to Hanover . The company's headquarters are still located here today.
HDI Beteiligungs AG was founded in 1996 to separate the strategic group management and the operative insurance business. The insurance business was spun off into independent companies. To avoid confusion with the HDI brand, HDI Beteiligungs AG is renamed Talanx AG in 1998. Since then, the group management function has been taken over by Talanx. The word Talanx is made up of the terms talent (ancient currency unit) and phalanx (flexible battle setup). In 2011, HDI's new headquarters were completed in Hanover.
In 2005 the Talanx Group announced its intention to take over the operating companies of the Gerling Group for € 1.4 billion. In April 2006, the Gerling companies were integrated into Talanx AG, divided into a life and a property service holding company.
HDI-Gerling has been active as a brand on the insurance market since 2006.
In September 2012, the brands HDI and HDI-Gerling were combined under the "new old brand" HDI in private and corporate insurance. The companies HDI Direkt Versicherung AG and HDI-Gerling Firmen und Privat Versicherung AG now operate under the name HDI Versicherung AG.
