About Company
The foundation of Munich Reinsurance Company in 1880 is largely due to the efforts of Carl Thieme. It is also Thieme who stated that: “By its nature, reinsurance needs to be international”. He consistently follows his conviction by putting the company on an international footing from the v… read moreery start. He establishes a business model whose essential features remain valid up to the present day: independence from primary insurers, a broad spread of risks, an efficient system of treaty management, working in partnership with clients and innovative insurance concepts.
Munich Re quickly develops into one of the leading risk carriers worldwide, and has been helping shape the insurance industry ever since. In 2010, with the aim of reviewing the historical role and development of the company, Munich Re commissions business historians Johannes BÌ?hr and Christopher Kopper with the task of producing an independent study on the company’s history. It is published by Verlag C.H. Beck in the autumn of 2015 with the title “Munich Re – Die Geschichte der MÌ?nchener RÌ?ck”, and covers the period from 1880 to 1980. The English edition will follow in 2016. The stages of the company’s history detailed below have been based on the findings of the study and reflect research covering the years up to 1980. This applies in particular to the entirely new chapter on the role of Munich Re during the Nazi period.

We take on risks worldwide of every type and complexity, and our experience, financial strength, efficiency and first-class service make us the first choice for all matters relating to risk. Our client relationships are built on trust and cooperation.
