History
The two original groups of the Group since its inception in the early 20th century, closely linked to the economic middle class of craft, trade and commerce. The Iduna Nova went back to an initiative of self-employed artisans and trader who founded in Hamburg in 1906 a sick and burial fund. Dortmund's master craftsmen have followed suit a year later and also called a medical provident fund into life. At the foundation had the Hamburg Chamber of Trade (now the Hamburg Chamber of Trade ) a special role and has since the establishment of co-decision and regulatory law. These are especially two hamburgers master craftsmen, the builder and master stonemason Johann Reimer (1847-1917) and the wood turner and later Hamburg Senator John Hirsch ( 1861-1935 ). The Imperial Inspectorate in Berlin called for 100,000 marks for the statutory fund. 14 Hamburger banks brought together the half and the other half of the master craftsman Johann Reimer from the Hamburg Karolinenviertel. John Hirsch was 1914-1934 Chairman of the " middle class insurance."
