Hannover Re was established in 1966 under the name “Aktiengesellschaft für Transport- und Rückversicherung”. Becoming a listed company in 1994, Hannover Re took a major step forward in its future development. In 1996 the Group was restructured; Eisen and Stahl Rück (today E+S Rück) was integrated into the Hannover Re Group and positioned as a specialist reinsurer for the German market. Today, the company ranks as the second-largest reinsurer in the German market and number three in the world according to its gross premium income.
