The roots of our Group date back to 1890, when Allianz Versicherungs-AG was founded in Berlin. From its very beginning, Allianz was a successful business, which grew organically and as a result of intelligent acquisitions. Allianz has established itself in the market thanks to its financial strength, business acumen, flexibility, respect, international outlook, loyality, customer trust and corporate responsibility. These values have lost none of their relevance and remain our cornerstones to this day.Should you wish to find out more about the history of Allianz Group, please visit the Allianz Center for Corporate History online.
