History
The story of Hallesche
Hallesche began in 1934 in Berlin as the Hallesche Krankenkasse, founded by the Kaufmännische Krankenkasse Halle (Saale) and in business from 1 January 1936. The reason lay in the politics of the time: under the Nazi regime's reform of health insurance, substitute funds were allowed to act only as social insurers, so the Halle fund needed a new company for its privately insured members. The group's chronicle also records that the insurance of more than 400 Jewish members was cancelled in 1935. After the war, Hallesche lost more than a third of its business in the East and moved its headquarters from Berlin to Stuttgart in 1948. It began working with Alte Leipziger in 1973, traded for a time as Hallesche-Nationale after a merger in 1975, and in 1994 the two insurers formed the ALH Group. Today Hallesche insures 226,341 people with full cover (2025) and took €1,814.9 million in gross premiums in 2025.
