Continuously researching and updating corporate history are part of the core responsibilities of the Center for Corporate History. For the second time, a company anniversary has been supported from a historical perspective. Following the history of Vereinte Krankenversicherung (Allianz Private Krankenversicherung since 2003), a book about the eventful history of Frankfurter Allianz has been published on the occasion of its 75th anniversary in 2004.

The history of Frankfurter Allianz had a turbulent beginning in 1929. Following the collapse of the second largest German insurance company, Frankfurter Allgemeine Versicherungs-AG (FAVAG), Allianz took over parts of the insurance business and established the "New Frankfurter". Today Frankfurter represents Allianz's business in the states of Hesse, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland.

The book does not simply tell the history of Frankfurter Allianz up to the present day, but also looks back to the start-up years of FAVAG and its subsidiaries, such as Hammonia. After all, as one of the biggest insurance companies, FAVAG, established in 1865, was one of the most formative forces in Germany's insurance industry.
