History of the old Leipzig people
founding
The Alte Leipziger emerged from two different insurance companies: the Leipziger Feuer-Versicherungs-Anstalt, founded in 1819 , and the Leipzig Life Insurance Company, founded in 1830 . The "Leipziger Feuer" was brought into being by the Berlin merchant Carl Friedrich Ernst Weisse. The founding members of life insurance included outstanding personalities from the Leipzig Society, most of whom were also company owners, including the President of the Appeal Court Johann Ludwig Wilhelm Beck , Chamber Councilor Christian Gottlob Frege (Frege & Comp.), The entrepreneur and railway pioneer Gustav Harkort and Johannes Christian Dürbig , co-owner of the large Hamburg-Leipzig trading house HJ Merck . Johann Friedrich August Olearius was appointed the first director of life insurance, which began its business on January 1, 1831 .
According to the insurance historian Peter Koch, Alte Leipziger Lebensversicherung has "made significant contributions to the development of modern life insurance". Alte Leipziger Lebensversicherung were pioneering achievements
- the introduction of the quarterly and then the monthly premium payment, so that the product was opened up to broader sections of the population,
- the possibility of shortening the insurance period and exemption from contributions,
- the introduction of a "natural dividend system", with which the profit sharing could be fundamentally redesigned and improved.
19th century until the end of World War II
Leipziger Feuer expanded in 1837 into what was then the Austrian Empire by opening agencies in Vienna and Prague . The life insurance company also developed successfully in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The premium income increased continuously. On the basis of the Reich Law on Private Insurance Companies of May 12, 1901, the company took on the legal form of a mutual insurance association (VVaG). 1904-08 the Leipzig life insurance company had a representative administration building built on Dittrichring, which Anton Käppler designed in neo-baroque style. The Leipziger Feuerversicherung also moved into a new headquarters in 1913, on the opposite side of the Dittrichring. The neo-renaissance building is known today as the "round corner" . In addition to the fire insurance it offered from 1910-1915 as insurance against tap water damage , loss of rent , business interruption at or crop failures.
After the First World War , the life insurance company was re-established in 1922 under the name Leipziger Lebensversicherung AG in order not to burden new contracts with the still existing foreign exchange obligations from old contracts. The VVaG only processed the old portfolio in the following decade. After this reorganization he took over the stock of the AG again in 1933 and the old Leipzig life insurance company was created . As early as the 1920s, the Alte Leipziger was dedicated to the then new topic of company pension schemes, which is now a focus of its business activities.
Leipziger Feuer also entered the life insurance business in 1929 by taking over the Bremen-Oldenburger Lebensversicherungs-Bank, relocating its headquarters to Leipzig and renaming it to Lebenswacht Lebensversicherungs-Anstalt in Leipzig AG . However, the economic crisis weakened the business. In order to support each other, Leipziger Feuer and Alte Leipziger Lebensversicherung increasingly worked together. In 1932 they founded a working group, and in the following year Johannes Tiedke took over the chairmanship of both companies. In 1935, Alte Leipziger Lebensversicherung became the main shareholder of Leipziger Feuer-Versicherung. This laid the foundation for the old Leipzig insurance group. During the Second World War , new business gradually came to a standstill.
After 1945
In autumn 1945 the Soviet military administration forbade both the life insurer and the property insurer, the Leipziger Feuer-Versicherungsanstalt, to continue to operate. They were closed and "wound up". Thus, after more than a century in Leipzig, the companies were banned from doing business at their place of establishment. The Soviet secret police NKVD and in 1950 the district administration for state security (" Stasi ") moved into the former headquarters of the Leipziger Feuer .
The Leipzig insurance companies moved their headquarters to the western occupation zones: Alte Leipziger Lebensversicherung moved to Bad Gandersheim in Lower Saxony in 1946 , and to Frankfurt am Main in 1952 . In 1947, the Leipziger Feuer ventured a new start in Bonn . On March 22, 1948, the relocation of the registered office was entered in the commercial register of the Bonn District Court. The joint management of the life and property insurers has been in Oberursel (Taunus) since 1974 . After German reunification, the Alte Leipziger reopened a sales office at its founding location in Leipzig in 1990. However, the headquarters remained in Oberursel.
History of the Hallesche health insurance
On September 15, 1934, the commercial health insurance company founded the Hallesche Krankenkasse, based in Berlin, as a mutual insurance association for people not subject to compulsory insurance. The outsourcing of the "privately" insured from the statutory health insurance funds was decided by law. The insured persons affected, a total of 20,570 people, were transferred to the new company as a portfolio. On January 1, 1936, business operations began with 195 employees and were based in Berlin. In 1948 the head office moved from Berlin to Stuttgart as a result of political tension. The collaboration with Alte Leipziger began in 1972. In 1975 the Hallesche Krankenkasse and the National Health Insurance Association merged . G. under the chairman of the supervisory board Ludwig Grosse to form the Hallesche-Nationale Krankenversicherungsverein aG .
The Hallesche is considered a pioneer in the field of long-term care insurance. In the early 1990s, it was one of the first companies to calculate long-term care insurance actuarially and to offer it to everyone.
Hallesche positioned itself early on with innovative products, such as pension vouchers, in the new market for "company health insurance" (bKV): Companies take out a bKV for their employees to promote their health or to increase their loyalty to the employer . The bKV extends the individual health insurance coverage of employees, for example to include benefits for dentures or visual aids.
Donation commitment
The Alte Leipziger - Hallesche Group was elected Company of the Month in March 2012 as part of the Active Together - Citizens' Engagement in Hesse . With this award she wants to highlight donation activities of the group, such as cents alleviate hardship . The employees of the group companies forego the cents after the decimal point in their payroll. At the end of the year, the total amount is then doubled by the company management. Since this campaign was initiated in 1991, many institutions have benefited from the staff's willingness to donate. Primarily those who help, look after or encourage disabled or seriously ill children are supported.
In the scientific area, institutions are supported whose work is particularly related to topics of the insurance industry. In 2003, the group supported the establishment of an endowed professorship at the University of Göttingen to research parkinsonism with an amount of 140,000 euros.
