history

The initiator and founder of the Munich Association in 1922 was the then President of the Bavarian Trade Association , the Bavarian state parliament member Andreas Wagner (1871–1928).

Wagner, who was known as a committed craft politician beyond the Bavarian borders, realized the idea of ​​creating a social and economic self-help facility for craft and trade. At Wagner's instigation, the Federal Presidium of the Bavarian Trade Association was commissioned on July 17, 1921 to set up its own health insurance for the Bavarian trades. On December 13, 1921, the Bavarian Trade Association decided to set up a health insurance scheme for Bavarian industrial and commercial medium-sized companies. The decision was implemented on April 20, 1922 with the establishment of the insurance company of the Bavarian Trade Association. This insurance company is the legal predecessor of Münchener Verein Krankenversicherung a. G.

The insurance group has had the uniform name "Munich Association" since 1936.

The Munich association was severely affected by the consequences of the Second World War due to the destruction of the main administration building in Pestalozzistraße and the district administration for Upper Bavaria in Pettenkoferstraße. The rebuilding of the company was made easier by the fact that all existing customer and contract data could be saved over the period of the Second World War.
