The Universa health insurance a. G. (spelling: uniVersa ) is a German private health insurance association based in Nuremberg in what is now the Universa group of companies . The predecessor of today's private health insurance was established in 1843 and is therefore the oldest in Germany.
In order to be able to cover the loss of earnings due to illness, on the initiative of Georg Heine (Nuremberg tobacco factory worker), on March 5, 1843, Nuremberg tobacco factory workers founded a health support association for tobacco factory workers . In the following years this became the health support association for factory workers and later the Nuremberg general health support association .
