Nürnberger Versicherung

The roots of today's insurance group lie in the Nürnberger Lebensversicherungs-Bank founded on February 16, 1884, by Lothar Freiherr von Faber, Friedrich von Grundherr, Johannes Falk, Johan Georg Kugler, Moritz Poehlmann, Samuel Bloch and Karl Wunder. On September 28 of the same year, the Royal Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior granted permission to do business; in December 1884, the first life insurance certificate was issued.

Corporate history

The Nürnberger Lebensversicherungs-Bank was founded in 1884. It launched the first private accidental death and dismemberment insurance policy in Bavaria in 1885. In 1906, Nürnberger received approval to include liability insurance. As a recognized self-help institution for the public service, it set up the Civil Servants' Pension Allowance Insurance in 1908.

In 1952, the company founded the subsidiary for non-life insurance, Nürnberger Allgemeine Versicherungs-AG, and six years later (1958) created the slogan "Protection and security under the sign of the castle" (Schutz und Sicherheit im Zeichen der Burg). Nürnberger launched the unit-linked life insurance product in 1971. In Salzburg, it founded Nürnberger Versicherung AG Österreich in 1981. Garanta Versicherungs-AG has been offering special products as a professional insurer for the motor vehicle trade, its companies, their employees and customers since 1985. Nürnberger Lebensversicherung AG was transformed into a holding company, Nürnberger Beteiligungs-Aktiengesellschaft, in 1990. The entire life insurance portfolio was transferred to a newly founded subsidiary, which took over the name Nürnberger Lebensversicherung AG. The newly founded Nürnberger Krankenversicherung AG began business operations in 1991. Through participation in Fürst Fugger Privatbank KG, Augsburg, the insurer entered asset management for third parties in 1999.

The Nürnberger Pensionskasse AG commenced business operations in 2003 and the Nürnberger Pensionsfonds AG in 2005. In 2007, the Nürnberger Sofortservice AG was founded. In 2009, the company celebrated its 125th anniversary. The Nürnberger Versicherungsgruppe renamed itself Nürnberger Versicherung in 2016.
