WIENER STÄDTISCHE Versicherung AG Vienna Insurance Group is the largest single company within the international insurance group VIENNA INSURANCE GROUP AG Wiener Versicherung Gruppe, which has its head office in Vienna. As an independent entity, the company's activities focus entirely on the Austrian market.

With a market share of approximately 14 percent, Wiener Städtische is the largest insurance company in Austria. We are responsible for about 1.3 million customers and we are fully committed to meeting their needs. Experience, dependable employees and innovative products are the pillars of our consultancy services. Our motto "We take responsibility for your worries" has been a living reality for us for more than 186 years.

Our company is steeped in tradition – the origins of Wiener Städtische go right back to 1824 – and we operate in all segments of the Austrian insurance market. We offer our customers peace of mind in numerous areas of their lives, both as private and as business customers.

As the leading insurance company in Austria, we have a strong capital base, which ensures continuity and reliability. Our experience and our success guarantee stability – even in difficult economic times.

We have a long history of being a key contributor to Austria's economy by providing employment in our original insurance division and making significant investments in other companies, infrastructure and the social and cultural spheres, and we continue to be a major player in Austria as a business location. We are one of this country's most important institutional investors in real estate, making our investments in places where the insurance premiums originate. We invest a significant proportion of the assets we manage in real estate. We invest in projects that we expect will produce a high yield and which will thus provide policy holders, in other words our customers, with a high degree of certainty. Wiener Städtische also makes an essential contribution to the stability and growth of the domestic economy in its role as an equitable partner for industrial enterprises and large corporations. Last but not least, let's not forget the benefits a broad-based group like the Vienna Insurance Group, Wiener Städtische's parent company, brings with it: it is one of the top groups listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange and its success in the CEE region generates significant added value for the financial centre of Austria.
