About us
The Berlin-based German Insurance Association (GDV) is the umbrella organisation for private insurers in Germany. Its 470 member companies, with about 217.000 employees and trainees, offer comprehensive coverage and provisions to private households, trade, industry and public institutions, through about 450 million insurance contracts. As a risk taker and major investor (with an investment portfolio of about 1.250 billion EUR), the insurance industry has outstanding significance in connection with investments, growth and employment in our economy.
GDV articulates and represents the positions of the German insurance industry before society, politicians, businesses, the media and academia, working to achieve regulatory conditions which will allow insurers to perform their responsibilities in optimal fashion. At the same time, the Association is a source of expert information about all matters relating to the insurance industry, making available its wealth of experience and information to the public. GDV informs and supports its member companies as a service provider, identifies political and social developments of relevance for the sector and proposes solutions.

Compensation of Insurance Policies of Holocaust Victims
German insurance companies and the GDV have participated in conjunction with the “Foundation Remembrance, Responsibility and the Future” in a process initiated by the “International Commission on Holocaust Era Insurance Claims (ICHEIC)” in compensating life and non-life insurance policies of victims of the Holocaust. Even though all official compensation processes have meanwhile been concluded, German insurance companies have agreed to continue to check inquiries concerning former insurance policies of victims of the Holocaust applying relaxed standards of proof and to honor legitimate claims.
