Association of German Pension Insurance Institutions

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Association of German Pension Insurance Institutions ( VDR ) was a voluntary amalgamation of the 26 statutory pension insurance carriers in the Federal Republic of Germany . On August 9, 1919, the immediate forerunner, the Association of German State Insurance Institutions, was founded in Kassel . The main task was to standardize pension law. In 1938 it was converted into the "Reichsverband Deutscher Rentenversicherungträger" (Reich Association of German Pension Insurance Institutions) as a joint umbrella association of pension insurance institutions, which remained in existence after 1945. Since May 3, 1946, it has been known as the “Association of German Pension Insurance Institutions (VDR)” and is based initially in Hanover and from 1958 in Frankfurt am Main . In all three western occupation zones, the VDR was constituted in 1948 as the umbrella organization of the pension insurance institutions. The Federal Insurance Agency for Salaried Employees (BfA) joined the association as an independent salaried employee insurance company in 1953.

The VDR was a registered association . As part of the organizational reform of the pension insurance in Germany, it merged on October 1, 2005 as a principle and cross-sectional area with the Federal Insurance Agency for Salaried Employees (BfA) to form the newly formed German Pension Insurance Association .

Its chairman was Franz Ruland from 1992 to 2005 .
